Brassica species serve as hosts to intricate and specialized communities of microbes that are crucial for promoting plant growth, enhancing resilience to stress, and facilitating nutrient uptake, even in the absence of conventional mycorrhizal fungi and nodule-forming relationships. These microbial allies, often passed down through seeds, have evolved alongside Brassicas to carry out essential tasks such as breaking down phosphates, fixing nitrogen, producing plant hormones, assisting in iron absorption through siderophores, and reducing stress with ACC deaminase activity. Furthermore, these beneficial microbes bolster plant defence by suppressing pathogens, triggering systemic resistance, and detoxifying harmful environmental agents. The unique biochemical characteristics of Brassicas, particularly their production of glucosinolates, further influence the composition of microbial communities, which are predominantly made up of groups like Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, Firmicutes, and Bacteroidetes. Various environmental pressures, both physical and biological, significantly affect the makeup and functioning of these microbiomes. Nonetheless, these microbial communities demonstrate remarkable adaptability through functional redundancy and shifts in genomic and physiological responses triggered by stress. Utilizing these adaptive and advantageous traits through microbe-centric management practices such as bioinoculants, seed treatments, and microbiome engineering presents sustainable alternatives to chemical fertilizers. These strategies are in harmony with integrated nutrient management and are particularly beneficial in conditions with limited inputs and high stress. Future developments in multi-omics technologies, precise microbial application, and microbiome-informed breeding will be essential for enhancing the functions of the Brassica microbiome and fostering resilient, climate-smart agricultural practices.

摘要

Brassica species serve as hosts to intricate and specialized communities of microbes that are crucial for promoting plant growth, enhancing resilience to stress, and facilitating nutrient uptake, even in the absence of conventional mycorrhizal fungi and nodule-forming relationships. These microbial allies, often passed down through seeds, have evolved alongside Brassicas to carry out essential tasks such as breaking down phosphates, fixing nitrogen, producing plant hormones, assisting in iron absorption through siderophores, and reducing stress with ACC deaminase activity. Furthermore, these beneficial microbes bolster plant defence by suppressing pathogens, triggering systemic resistance, and detoxifying harmful environmental agents. The unique biochemical characteristics of Brassicas, particularly their production of glucosinolates, further influence the composition of microbial communities, which are predominantly made up of groups like Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, Firmicutes, and Bacteroidetes. Various environmental pressures, both physical and biological, significantly affect the makeup and functioning of these microbiomes. Nonetheless, these microbial communities demonstrate remarkable adaptability through functional redundancy and shifts in genomic and physiological responses triggered by stress. Utilizing these adaptive and advantageous traits through microbe-centric management practices such as bioinoculants, seed treatments, and microbiome engineering presents sustainable alternatives to chemical fertilizers. These strategies are in harmony with integrated nutrient management and are particularly beneficial in conditions with limited inputs and high stress. Future developments in multi-omics technologies, precise microbial application, and microbiome-informed breeding will be essential for enhancing the functions of the Brassica microbiome and fostering resilient, climate-smart agricultural practices.
