Abstrakt: In plant environments, there exist heterogeneous microbial communities, referred to as the plant microbiota, which are recruited by plants and play crucial roles in promoting plant growth, aiding in resistance against pathogens and environmental stresses, thereby maintaining plant health. These microorganisms, along with their genomes, collectively form the plant microbiome. Research on the plant microbiome can help unravel the intricate interactions between plants and microbes, providing a theoretical foundation to reduce pesticide use, enhance agricultural productivity, and promote environmental sustainability. Despite significant progress in the field of research, unresolved challenges persist due to ongoing technological limitations and the complexities inherent in studying microorganisms at small scales. Recently, synthetic community (SynCom) has emerged as a novel technique for microbiome research, showing promising prospects for applications in the plant microbiome field. This article systematically introduces the origin and distribution of plant microbiota, the processes of their recruitment and colonization, and the mechanisms underlying their beneficial functions for plants, from the aspects of composition, assembly, and function. Furthermore, we discuss the principles, applications, challenges, and prospects of SynCom for promoting plant health.
