ABSTRACT
Plant microbiomes play a vital role in promoting plant growth and resilience to cope with environmental stresses. Plant microbiome engineering holds significant promise to increase crop yields, but there is uncertainty about how this can best be achieved. We propose a step-by-step approach involving customized direct and indirect methods to condition soils and to match plants and microbiomes. Although three approaches, namely the development of (i) 'plant- and microbe-friendly' soils, (ii) 'microbe-friendly' plants, and (iii) 'plant-friendly' microbiomes, have been successfully tested in isolation, we propose that the combination of all three may lead to a step-change towards higher and more stable crop yields. This review aims to provide knowledge, future directions, and practical guidance to achieve this goal via customized plant microbiome engineering.
