Open AccessEnhanced surface colonisation and competition during bacterial adaptation to a fungus
Bacterial-fungal interactions influence microbial community performance of most ecosystems and elicit specific microbial behaviours, including stimulating specialised metabolite production. Here, we use a co-c...

Open AccessA non-invasive soil-based setup to study tomato root volatiles released by healthy and infected roots
The role of root exudates in mediating plant–microbe interactions has been well documented. However, the function of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted by plant roots has only recently begun to attract ...

Volatile Interplay Between Microbes: Friends and Foes
Emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) has emerged as important mean of communication between bacteria and other organisms. Most of the knowledge accumulated so far in this field has been obtained with ...

Open AccessRoot traits and belowground herbivores relate to plant–soil feedback variation among congeners
Plant–soil feedbacks contribute to vegetation dynamics by species-specific interactions between plants and soil biota. Variation in plant–soil feedbacks can be predicted by root traits, successional position, ...

Effects of agronomical measures on the microbial diversity of soils as related to the suppression of soil-borne plant pathogens
The diversity of soil microbial communities can be key to the capacity of soils tosuppress soil-borne plant diseases. As agricultural practice, as well as directedagronomical measures, are known to be able to ...
