Soil is a critical ecological contributor to plant and animal health. In this issue
of Cell Host & Microbe, Xiong et al. use global metagenomic data to show that human
pathogens linked to diseases lik...
Now officially published in @natureportfolio.nature.com Nature Communications. Here
We provide first global atlas of bacterial plant pathogens and demonstrates that high microbial diversity is associated with decline in plant pathogen prevalence at the globe scale.
