But what you can't see in that pond is the evolutionary battle between the plants and microbes trying to invade them. Plants depend heavily on microbes around them. The community of bacteria ...

“We show as well that the plant root microbiome is not very different from the human microbiome.” To understand root-microbe interactions in detail, the researchers grew Arabidopsis thaliana and ...

These interactions are relatively specific and require that the host plant and the microbe recognize each other using chemical signals. The interaction begins when the plant releases compounds ...

Agriculture faces unprecedented challenges from environmental pressures and increasing demand for food production. As global food security hinges ...

They collate findings from almost 200 publications highlighting how interactions between phytochemicals and gut microbes give rise to plant-derived metabolites, such as urolithins, equol ...

A research team has identified key microbial genomes and enzymatic strategies responsible for breaking down the ...
