Cover Story: The global population is projected to be ~10 billion by 2050. Advances in food production are necessary to feed the demand of this growing populace. Hydroponics constitutes one solution, as it extends the growing season indefinitely and increases crop density. Hydroponic crops grown in the absence of soil lack the native soil microbiome. Thus, exploring fungi and oomycetes within these systems is important. Plant growth-promoting fungi are a promising addition to hydroponic agriculture, as they interact with the rhizosphere to increase nutrient uptake, thwart phytopathogens, and induce the plant’s immune system. In contrast, fungal phytopathogens are a destructive force that requires novel solutions to effectively prevent and control. This review addresses the recent advancements in our knowledge of the interactions among hydroponic crops, fungi, and oomycetes. View this paper
