Structure and functions of the bacterial microbiota of plants
Davide Bulgarelli,Klaus Schlaeppi,Stijn Spaepen,Stijn Spaepen,Emiel Ver Loren van Themaat,Paul Schulze-Lefert +5 more
TL;DR: The plant microbiota emerges as a fundamental trait that includes mutualism enabled through diverse biochemical mechanisms, as revealed by studies on plant growth- Promoting and plant health-promoting bacteria.

Revealing structure and assembly cues for Arabidopsis root-inhabiting bacterial microbiota
Davide Bulgarelli,Matthias Rott,Klaus Schlaeppi,Emiel Ver Loren van Themaat,Nahal Ahmadinejad,Federica Assenza,Philipp Rauf,Bruno Huettel,Richard Reinhardt,Elmon Schmelzer,Joerg Peplies,Frank Oliver Gloeckner,Rudolf Amann,Thilo Eickhorst,Paul Schulze-Lefert +14 more
TL;DR: Methodology is described to characterize and compare soil- and root-inhabiting bacterial communities, which reveals not only a function for metabolically active plant cells but also for inert cell-wall features in the selection of soil bacteria for host colonization.

Keystone taxa as drivers of microbiome structure and functioning
TL;DR: A definition of keystone taxa in microbial ecology is proposed and over 200 microbial keystoneTaxa that have been identified in soil, plant and marine ecosystems, as well as in the human microbiome are summarized.
Fungal-bacterial diversity and microbiome complexity predict ecosystem functioning
Cameron Wagg,Cameron Wagg,Klaus Schlaeppi,Samiran Banerjee,Eiko E. Kuramae,Marcel G. A. van der Heijden +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors manipulated the soil microbiome in experimental grassland ecosystems and observed that microbiome diversity and microbial network complexity positively influenced multiple ecosystem functions related to nutrient cycling (e.g. multifunctionality).
Root exudate metabolites drive plant-soil feedbacks on growth and defense by shaping the rhizosphere microbiota
Lingfei Hu,Christelle A. M. Robert,Selma Cadot,Xi Zhang,Meng Ye,Beibei Li,Daniele Manzo,Noémie Chervet,Thomas Steinger,Marcel G. A. van der Heijden,Marcel G. A. van der Heijden,Klaus Schlaeppi,Matthias Erb +12 more
TL;DR: The results reveal a mechanism by which plants determine the composition of rhizosphere microbiota, plant performance and plant-herbivore interactions of the next generation by modifying root-associated microbiota.
