Abstract

The article discusses the potential for manipulating the plant mycobiome to enhance plant resilience. It explains that there are two main methods for manipulating the mycobiome: leveraging existing fungal communities or introducing novel taxa. The article also highlights the challenges and opportunities for mycobiome management, emphasizing the need for a broad understanding of plant-fungal interactions. It discusses the importance of community assembly processes, host defense mechanisms, and the maintenance of beneficial mycobiomes. The article concludes by stating that successful mycobiome manipulation will require a combination of molecular and genetic tools, as well as an understanding of the ecology and evolution of plant-fungal interactions.
