Microorganisms that live on or in plant tissues form what is known as a plant microbiome. This interface plays an important role in plants’ survival due to the existence of beneficial microorganisms. Plants grown in distinct environments can have similar microbiomes or can change over time depending on environmental factors. This complex microbial community assembles and changes by exchanging signals between the host and microbes.
