Abstract
Mutualistic interactions between plants and microbiomes are vital for plant growth and resilience. However, traditional breeding has undermined these interactions. Here, we explore the Grime's triangle from a microbiome perspective and discuss how traits from stress-tolerant species can aid in identifying cultivars with enhanced microbiome interactions.
