Abstract

The host-associated microbiota can promote colonization resistance against pathogens via a mechanism termed ‘nutrient blocking’, as highlighted in a recent article by Spragge et al. This implies that greater metabolic overlap between commensal taxa and pathogens leads to disease suppression. Here, we discuss future avenues for how this principle can be exploited in the rhizosphere microbiota to promote plant health.
