“…The culture-independent techniques currently used to analyze the genetic and functional diversity of microbial communities in the bulk of soil and in the rhizosphere have been recently reviewed Chauhan et al, 2013;Hirsch et al, 2013a;Schreiter et al, 2015). Key information from these that the target plant recruit in its rhizosphere (Hirsch et al, 2013b).…”

An intensive agricultural production is necessary to satisfy food requirements for the growing world population. However, its realization is associated with the mass consumption of non-renewable natural resources and with the emission of greenhouse gases causing climate changes. The research challenge is to meet sustainable environmental and economical issues without compromising yields. In this context, exploiting the agroecosystem services of soil microbial communities appears as a promising effective approach. This chapter reviews the research efforts aimed at improving a sustainable and healthy agricultural production through the appropriate management of soil microorganisms. First, the plant-associated microbiome is briefly described. Then, the current research technologies for formulation and application of inocula based on specific beneficial plant-associated microbes are summarized. Finally, the perspectives and opportunities to manage naturally existing microbial populations, including those non-culturable, are analyzed. This analysis concerns: (i) a description of the already available, culture-independent, molecular techniques addressed at increasing our understanding of root-microbiome interactions; (ii) how to improve the ability of soil microbes for alleviating the negative impacts of stress factors on crop productivity; and (iii) whether plants can structure their rootassociated microbial communities and, leading on from this, whether the rhizosphere can be engineered (biased) to encourage beneficial organisms, while prevent presence of pathogens.

“…HTS encompass several culture-free methods to analyze the genetic and functional diversity of microbial communities in soils and rhizosphere ( Barret et al., 2013 ; Chauhan et al., 2013 ; Hirsch et al., 2013 ; Hu et al., 2014 ; Schreiter et al., 2015 ; Zhu et al., 2018 ). Although these tools were first available 20 years ago, they have been more widely used in the past decade due to their ability to quickly identify relevant compounds in the soil microbial community.…”

Soil microbial communities play a crucial role in soil fertility, sustainability, and plant health. However, intensive agriculture with increasing chemical inputs and changing environments have influenced native soil microbial communities. Approaches have been developed to study the structure, diversity, and activity of soil microbes to better understand the biology and plant-microbe interactions in soils. Unfortunately, a good understanding of soil microbial community remains a challenge due to the complexity of community composition, interactions of the soil environment, and limitations of technologies, especially related to the functionality of some taxa rarely detected using conventional techniques. Culture-based methods have been shown unable and sometimes are biased for assessing soil microbial communities. To gain further knowledge, culture-independent methods relying on direct analysis of nucleic acids, proteins, and lipids are worth exploring. In recent years, metagenomics, metaproteomics, metatranscriptomics, and proteogenomics have been increasingly used in studying microbial ecology. In this review, we examined the importance of microbial community to soil quality, the mystery of rhizosphere and plant-microbe interactions, and the biodiversity and multi-trophic interactions that influence the soil structure and functionality. The impact of the cropping system and climate change on the soil microbial community was also explored. Importantly, progresses in molecular biology, especially in the development of high-throughput biotechnological tools, were extensively assessed for potential uses to decipher the diversity and dynamics of soil microbial communities, with the highlighted advantages/limitations.
