Coming of age for Microbiome gene breeding in plants
The plant microbiota can complement host functioning, leading to improved growth and health under unfavorable conditions. Microbiome engineering could therefore become a transformative technique for crop production. Microbiome genes, abbreviated as M genes, provide valuable targets for shaping plant-associated microbial communities.

Abstract
The plant microbiota can complement host functioning, leading to improved growth and health under unfavorable conditions. Microbiome engineering could therefore become a transformative technique for crop production. Microbiome genes, abbreviated as M genes, provide valuable targets for shaping plant-associated microbial communities.
