Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

Phytobiomes Journal focuses on the study of plant-associated microbial communities, known as phytobiomes. Research investigates the composition, function, and interactions of these microbes in various plant organs and environments, including phyllosphere, rhizosphere, and woody tissues. A significant emphasis is placed on the role of these microbial communities in plant health, disease resistance, nutrient cycling, and agricultural sustainability. Studies often explore how plant genetics, environmental factors, and management practices shape these microbiomes and their impact on crop yield and quality.
