The plant microbiome comprises a highly diverse community of saprotrophic, mutualistic, and pathogenic microbes that can affect plant growth and plant health. There is substantial interest to exploit beneficial members of plant microbiomes for new sustainable management strategies in crop production. However, poor survival and colonization of plant tissues by introduced microbial isolates as well as lack of expression of the plant growth-promoting or disease-suppressive traits at the right time and place are still major limitations for successful implementation of microbiomes in future agricultural practices and plant breeding programs. Similar to building a home for humans, we discuss different strategies of building a home for beneficial plant microbiomes, here referred to as the ‘MicrobiHome’.

植物微生物组包括一个高度多样化的腐生、共生和病原微生物群落，这些微生物可以影响植物生长和植物健康。开发植物微生物组的有益成员以用于作物生产中的新可持续管理策略具有很大的兴趣。然而，引入的微生物分离株对植物组织的存活和定植较差，以及在正确的时间和地点缺乏促进植物生长或抑制疾病的性状，仍然是在未来农业实践中成功实施微生物组的主要限制。植物育种计划。与为人类建造家园类似，我们讨论了为有益植物微生物组建造家园的不同策略，这里称为“MicrobiHome”。
