Plant growth and development is the product of layers of sensing and regulation that are modulated by multifactorial environmental cues. Plants can sense and respond to a large number of microorganisms in both cultivated and natural environments. Various tissue species of plants have a variety of microorganisms, which constitute plant microbiota. Plant microbiota improves plant adaptation, including resistance to pathogens growth promotion, and stress tolerance. There are complex networks of genetic, biochemical, physical, and metabolic interactions between plants and their associated microbial communities and environments. In the planet's ever-changing cultivated environment, clarifying the mechanisms of plant-microbiome interactions is of great value for plant cultivation, breeding, and utilization. Omics is a method that integrates all factors related to a research target and studies them as a system, including genome, transcriptome, proteome, metagenome, and so on. The current application of omics in highly controlled and field environments is revolutionizing the identification of key factors in the spatio-temporal response to individual or multiple environmental cues.
In recent years, researchers have made some progress in plant-soil-environment-microbe interactions. However, we still know very little about how plant microbiota affects plant function. We hope to contribute to the elucidation of the functional properties of microorganisms in plant life. The aim of this research topic is to summarize the latest trends and developments in the application of omics to plant-microbiome interactions, which will help to promote a benign development between plants and microorganisms.
We welcome all types of submissions, including original research, reviews, methodologies, mini-reviews, perspectives, and opinion articles in this field, including (but not limited to) research covering:
1. Multi-omics studies of plant-microbiome interactions using genomics, transcriptomics, metabolomics, metagenomics, etc.
2. Omics combines with other techniques (e.g., gene editing, Liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry) to elucidate plant-microbiome interactions.
3. Omics study of microbiota in different plant tissues, including rhizosphere, leaves, fruits, etc.
4. Summarize and review articles on the current stage of research on the omics aspects of plant-microbe interactions, such as metagenomic applications in plant-microbe interactions.
