Figure 1 Plant Compartment and Species Modulate Microbiome Composition (A) Major bacterial phylum detected in the bulk soil, rhizosphere, root zone, and phyllosphere samples of Poplar (Wagner et al., 2016), maize (authors unpublished data), sugarcane (de Souza et al., 2016), grapes (Zarraonaindia et al., 2015), cacti species (M. geometrizans and O. robusta; [Fonseca-García et al., 2016]), and agava species (A. deseritti; A. salmiana; A. tequilana; [Coleman-Derr et al., 2016]). Only phyla that represent > 0.5% of the total population in at least one sample are included. The selected studies used high-throughput sequencing (Illumina MiSeq or 454 pyrosequencing) to profile the bacterial community structure. (B) OTU network maps showing interactions between root-associated microbiome (bacteria and fungi) and plants strongly correlates with plant species identity. Plants were grown in the same soil, and root-associated microbiome were characterized using MiSeq Illumina sequencing. The raw sequence data have been submitted to the NCBI Short Read Archive database under accession numbers NCBI: SUB2577050 and NCBI: SUB2577680 for bacteria and fungi, respectively.

Figure 2 Inter- and Intra-kingdom Communications within the Phytobiome Occur via Chemical Signals Communication can occur through signal degradation (D), mimicry (M), or inhibition (I) by other community members, including plants (leaf), bacteria (bacteria), fungi (hyphae), or insects (insect). Plants produce signals delivered either in root or leaf exudates that are perceived (P) by other community members. Plants also perceive signals from diverse community members that activate or enhance activation (A) of localized or systemic responses and that culminate in changes in plant development, health, and productivity. For description of signals, see Main Text. Cell 2017 169, 587-596DOI: (10.1016/j.cell.2017.04.025) Copyright © 2017 Elsevier Inc. Terms and Conditions
