Toward understanding microbiota homeostasis in the plant kingdom
Bradley C. Paasch, Sheng Yang He
Abstract
A diverse community of microorganisms inhabits various parts of a plant. Recent findings indicate that perturbations to the normal microbiota can be associated with positive and negative effects on plant health. In this review, we discuss these findings in the context of understanding how microbiota homeostasis is regulated in plants for promoting health and/or for preventing dysbiosis.
