Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
A large number of organisms inhabit the soil–plant system, including bacteria, fungi, and viruses. These microorganisms play a vital role in plant growth and the improvement of soil environments in general. At present, there are many reports on the study of soil microorganisms or plant microbiomes alone, but studies targeting microbial communities and interactions in the soil–plant system are scarce. This Special Issue of Plants will focus on gaining an in-depth understanding of the characteristics of the microbial community and its driving factors, as well as the assembly mechanisms of the root–soil interface. In addition, functional microorganisms and their application in the soil–plant system are also included. Ultimately, this aims to support the sustainable development of agriculture and the improvement of the ecological environment.
