Microorganisms in association with roots can protect plants against soil-borne diseases. A recent study mechanistically revealed how root endophytes act as a second microbiological layer of plant defense. Integrating ecological concepts with principles of plant pathology provides an innovative way to manipulate and engineer beneficial plant microbiomes.
与根系共生的微生物可以保护植物免受土传病害的侵害。最近的一项研究从机制上揭示了根内生菌如何充当植物防御的第二层微生物层。将生态学概念与植物病理学原理相结合,为操纵和工程有益植物微生物组提供了一种创新的方法。
