Endosymbiont-Mediated Adaptive Responses to Stress in Holobionts

Limosilactobacillus reuteri SLZX19-12 Protects the Colon from Infection by Enhancing Stability of the Gut Microbiota and Barrier Integrity and Reducing Inflammation

“…In the background of special environments and during the evolution process, intestinal tissue and the gut microbiota have formed a stable mutualistic relationship and together constitute a symbiont ( 12 ). Endosymbiosis can affect stress tolerance of holobionts ( 31 ). Based on this view, microorganisms with special functions living in the digestive tracts of animals may exhibit special characteristics.…”

Utilizing mycorrhizal responses to guide selective breeding for agricultural sustainability

“…With increasing recognition that plants and associated microbes should be assessed together as a holobiont, and that crop breeding strategies must account for complex symbiotic amalgams (Gopal & Gupta, 2016;Ravanbakhsh et al, 2021;Wei & Jousset, 2017;Ye & Siemann, 2020), our findings add an important dimension to switchgrass research that can be extrapolated to multiple agricultural production systems. We assessed plant responses to AM fungi in conditions where additional holobiont components (i.e., local soil microbes) were consistent across the experiment.…”

“…Therefore, our current research focuses on assessing switchgrass populations, following low‐input breeding, as a potential strategy to improve sustainability of biofuel production systems. The emerging holobiont conceptual framework, identifying host‐plants as both primary drivers and scaffolding for complexes of diverse microbial communities that function as an evolutionary unit, can be used by breeders to enhance plant production (Gopal & Gupta, 2016; Ravanbakhsh et al., 2021; Wei & Jousset, 2017; Ye & Siemann, 2020). A holobiont describes multipartite relationships where a host‐plant genome is tightly linked with an associated microbiome, forming a nascent and complex hologenome (Theis et al., 2016).…”

A perspective on insect–microbe holobionts facing thermal fluctuations in a climate‐change context

“…1). The holobiont evolutionary responses to environmental dynamics could be primarily driven by the microbiome, through diverse processes (Ye and Siemann, 2020; Perreau and Moran, 2021; Rosenberg, 2021). First, frequent genetic changes (e.g.…”
