Networking in the Plant Microbiome
Open accessAbstract
Almost all higher organisms, including plants, insects, and mammals, are colonized by complex microbial communities and harbor a microbiome.Emerging studies with plants reveal that these microbiomes are structured and form complex, interconnected microbial networks.Within these networks, different taxa have different roles, and keystone species have been identified that could be crucial for plant health and ecosystem functioning.A new paper in this issue of PLOS Biology by Agler et al. highlights the presence of microbial hubs in these networks that may act as mediators between the plant and its microbiome.A next major frontier is now to link microbiome composition to function.In order to do this, we present a number of hypothetical examples of how microbiome diversity and function potentially influence host performance.*Adapted from [3][4][5].Note that many studies investigating microbiomes focused on specific taxonomic groups (e.g., prokaryotes), and other important domains (e.g., fungi or protozoa) have often not been assessed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
