Abstract Host-associated microbiomes are increasingly recognized as key determinants of plant health, disease development, and ecosystem functioning. Plant pathogens, especially fungal pathogens, have been reported to secrete antimicrobial effectors to modulate the host microbiota and promote colonization. Plant-parasitic nematodes (PPNs) could also modulate host microbial communities, but the processes involved remain to be clarified.
