Abstract

Plant-microbe research offers many choices of model and strain and whether a field-first or lab-first approach is best. However, differences between laboratory studies, offering control and repeatability, versus field experiments, revealing ecological relevance and environmental effects, should not be seen as failure but motivate further inquiry and allow complementary discovery.

从实验室到野外：植物生物学的挑战与机遇

植物微生物研究提供了许多模型和菌株的选择，以及田间优先还是实验室优先的方法是最好的。然而，提供控制和可重复性的实验室研究与揭示生态相关性和环境影响的现场实验之间的差异不应被视为失败，而应激发进一步的探索并允许补充发现。

期刊介绍： Cell Host & Microbe is a scientific journal that was launched in March 2007. The journal aims to provide a platform for scientists to exchange ideas and concepts related to the study of microbes and their interaction with host organisms at a molecular, cellular, and immune level. It publishes novel findings on a wide range of microorganisms including bacteria, fungi, parasites, and viruses. The journal focuses on the interface between the microbe and its host, whether the host is a vertebrate, invertebrate, or plant, and whether the microbe is pathogenic, non-pathogenic, or commensal. The integrated study of microbes and their interactions with each other, their host, and the cellular environment they inhabit is a unifying theme of the journal. The published work in Cell Host & Microbe is expected to be of exceptional significance within its field and also of interest to researchers in other areas. In addition to primary research articles, the journal features expert analysis, commentary, and reviews on current topics of interest in the field.
