How Plants Pick Their Microbial Dream Team for Survival #PlantScience #Microbiome #WorldTechnology

Plants aren’t passive—they actively select their own microbial teammates. Thanks to Professor Nancy Collins Johnson at Northern Arizona University, we now know that plants shape their root microbiomes, curating networks of fungi and bacteria that help them absorb nutrients and fight off pests.

This process, called functional team selection, shows how plants build alliances with microbes to survive in tough environments. It’s not one-size-fits-all: each plant needs a unique microbial squad to thrive, and mimicking these partnerships in agriculture could lead to more resilient, productive, and sustainable farming.

Understanding these natural alliances helps us work with nature, not against it, and offers a new path for sustainable agriculture and ecosystem resilience.
