Herbaria preserve plant microbiota responses to environmental changes

Interaction between plants and their microbiota is a central theme to understand adaptation of plants to their environment. Considering herbaria as repositories of holobionts that preserved traces of ancient plant-associated microbial communities, we propose to explore these historical collections to evaluate the impact of longlasting global changes on plant-microbiota interactions.
