Microbial communities associated with plants are dynamic ecosystems whose structure and functions influence host health and fitness. While the ecological roles and beneficial function of plant microbiomes are increasingly well understood, the evolutionary dynamics that shape them over time remain unclear. Experimental evolution constitutes a powerful tool to study microbial adaptation, but so…
