Resumen
Descripción
Microorganisms associated to plants can promote plant growth and development through direct and/or indirect mechanisms in addition to enabling them to tolerate biotic and abiotic stresses. Several factors are responsible for shaping the microbiome associated with plants and understanding how they influence the structure and functions of microbial communities is crucial for the development of sustainable agriculture. Using culture-independent methods and soils from Rothamsted Research, I will describe the importance of different factors in determining the root microbiome structure and diversity in wheat. In addition, I will describe a culturedependent approach that led to the development of a microbial product for maize. I also discuss gaps and benefits of taking a multidisciplinary approach to explore the plant microbiome to generate microorganism-based solutions for sustainable intensification of crop production.
