Plant-associated microbiomes maintain biodiversity and ecosystem productivity amid global change. Under projected climate change scenarios, the abundance of plant-beneficial bacteria is expected to decrease. Altered plant-associated microbiomes may affect plant tolerance to stress and (agro-)ecosystem productivity. Forward-thinking approaches, like microbiome breeding, offer biotechnological opportunities to understand and mine plant-microbe interactions.
Keywords: climate change; global change; microbiome; plant-growth promotion; soil.
