From synthetic communities to synthetic ecosystems: exploring causalities in plant-microbe-environment interactions.
The plant microbiota research field has rapidly shifted from efforts aimed at gaining a descriptive understanding of microbiota composition to a focus on acquiring mechanistic insights into microbiota functions and assembly rules. This evolution was driven by our ability to establish comprehensive collections of plant-associated microbes and to reconstruct meaningful microbial synthetic communities (SynComs). We argue that this powerful deconstruction-reconstruction strategy can be used to reconstitute increasingly complex synthetic ecosystems (SynEcos) and mechanistically understand high-level biological organization. The transitioning from simple to more advanced, fully tractable and programmable gnotobiotic SynEcos is ongoing and aims at rationally simplifying natural ecosystems by engineering them. Such reconstitution ecology approaches represent an untapped strategy for bridging the gap between ecology and functional biology and for unraveling plant-microbiota-environment mechanisms that modulate ecosystem health, assembly, and functioning.
期刊介绍:
New Phytologist is a leading publication that showcases exceptional and groundbreaking research in plant science and its practical applications. With a focus on five distinct sections - Physiology & Development, Environment, Interaction, Evolution, and Transformative Plant Biotechnology - the journal covers a wide array of topics ranging from cellular processes to the impact of global environmental changes. We encourage the use of interdisciplinary approaches, and our content is structured to reflect this. Our journal acknowledges the diverse techniques employed in plant science, including molecular and cell biology, functional genomics, modeling, and system-based approaches, across various subfields.
