Abstract
Microorganisms in association with roots can protect plants against soil-borne diseases. A recent study mechanistically revealed how root endophytes act as a second microbiological layer of plant defense. Integrating ecological concepts with principles of plant pathology provides an innovative way to manipulate and engineer beneficial plant microbiomes.Keywords: disease triangle; disease-suppressive soils; microbial ecology; microbiome; plant–microbe interaction
