“…All these microenvironments provide specific biotic and abiotic conditions for microbial life, which also have a correspondingly specific function for the host. The potential of these findings and the use of plant growth-promoting bacteria and biocontrol agents for the development of sustainable forms of agricultural management were discussed by Leveau (2007) , Köberl et al (2012) , Berg et al (2013) .…”

Most eukaryotes develop close interactions with microorganisms that are essential for their performance and survival. Thus, eukaryotes and prokaryotes in nature can be considered as meta-organisms or holobionts. Consequently, microorganisms that colonize different plant compartments contain the plant’s second genome. In this respect, many studies in the last decades have shown that plant-microbe interactions are not only crucial for better understanding plant growth and health, but also for sustainable crop production in a changing world. This mini-review acting as editorial presents retrospectives and future perspectives for plant microbiome studies as well as information gaps in this emerging research field. In addition, the contribution of this research topic to the solution of various issues is discussed.

“…Microbiological studies in the soil environment are hampered by the fact that the largest proportion of soil bacteria as yet cannot be cultured (Amann et al, 1995; Kent and Triplett, 2002; Doornbos et al, 2012). However, developments in metagenomics provide a more complete picture of the rhizosphere microbiome (Leveau, 2007; Sorensen et al, 2009; Hirsch and Mauchline, 2012). Thus the microbial players in the rhizosphere are on their way to be exposed and, perhaps more importantly, transcriptomic studies of the microbiome have been initiated to reveal microbial activities in complex environments (Urich et al, 2008; Gosalbes et al, 2012; Jansson et al, 2012).…”

The rhizosphere was defined over 100 years ago as the zone around the root where microorganisms and processes important for plant growth and health are located. Recent studies show that the diversity of microorganisms associated with the root system is enormous. This rhizosphere microbiome extends the functional repertoire of the plant beyond imagination. The rhizosphere microbiome of Arabidopsis thaliana is currently being studied for the obvious reason that it allows the use of the extensive toolbox that comes with this model plant. Deciphering plant traits that drive selection and activities of the microbiome is now a major challenge in which Arabidopsis will undoubtedly be a major research object. Here we review recent microbiome studies and discuss future research directions and applicability of the generated knowledge.

“…Molecular and genetic studies [46] should allow further comprehension of these interactions in the rhizosphere and help in the development of new commercial products. Finally, these studies can be strengthened by advances in metagenomics due to recent progress in bioinformatics, refinement of DNA amplifications and computational development [49]. This will facilitate the identification of bacteria species in experimental crops and the monitoring of the time course of populations throughout the culture cycles [50,51].…”

The need of higher agricultural productivity in recent decades has led to a great technification in crops. However, this had significant environmental costs due mainly to the indiscriminate use of fertilizers and pesticides. In response, a new trend seeks to establish more environmentally friendly cultivation methods where plant-growth-promoting bacteria (PGPR) can play a key role. PGPR influence a large number of plant-growth and developmental factors (N and P assimilation, phyto hormones, etc)) and help protect against other harmful organisms (antagonistic and bio-control effects, ISR and SAR). Thus, cultivation of PGPR for introduction into crops can result in large commercial opportunities. However, the implantation of these microorganisms is complex, making research on microorganisms-plant interactions a topic of great current interest.
