We studied the plant microbiome, aiming to elucidate on the new and improved tools for developing products that can enhance disease management. Our first step was to explore and discover prospective products that can invade phytopathogens and help in maintaining the overall health of plants. Plant microbiota are very useful in improving plant growth as they produce secondary metabolites that confer resistance to a wide variety of pathogens. As a whole, metabolites secreted by the plant microbiome will offer an immense contribution in opening up new opportunities to fight challenges in the environment and agriculture. Finally, the advances in metagenomics combined with NGS techniques will uncover new pools of defense metabolites by novel microbes in the rhizosphere, endosphere, and phyllosphere.
