Resumen
The holobiont Holobiont theory is more than 80 years old, while the importance of microbial communities for plant holobionts was already identified by Lorenz Hiltner more than a century ago. Both concepts are strongly supported by results from the new field of micr obiome r esear c h. Here , w e present ecolog ical and g enetic featur es of the plant holobiont that underpin principles of a shar ed governance between hosts and microbes and summarize the relevance of plant holobionts in the context of global c hange . Moreover, we unco ver kno wledge gaps that arise when inte gr ating plant holobionts in the broader perspective of the holobiome as well as one and planetary health concepts. Action is needed to consider interacting holobionts at the holobiome scale, for prediction and control of microbiome function to improve human and environmental health outcomes.
