Plant roots nurture a tremendous diversity of microbes via exudation of photosynthetically
fixed carbon sources. In turn, probiotic members of the root microbiome promote plant …

The factors that contribute to the composition of the root microbiome and, in turn, affect plant
fitness are not well understood. Recent work has highlighted a major contribution of the soil …

Plants benefit from associations with a diverse community of root-colonizing microbes.
Deciphering the mechanisms underpinning these beneficial services are of interest for …

In Arabidopsis roots, the transcription factor MYB 72 plays a dual role in the onset of
rhizobacteria‐induced systemic resistance (ISR) and plant survival under conditions of …

Soil-dwelling microbes are the principal inoculum for the root microbiota, but our
understanding of microbe–microbe interactions in microbiota establishment remains …

Plants shape their rhizosphere microbiome by secreting root exudates into the soil
environment. Recently, root-exuded coumarins were identified as novel players in plant …

Selected soil‐borne rhizobacteria can trigger an induced systemic resistance (ISR) that is
effective against a broad spectrum of pathogens. In A rabidopsis thaliana, the root‐specific …

Plants host a mesmerizing diversity of microbes inside and around their roots, known as the
microbiome. The microbiome is composed mostly of fungi, bacteria, oomycetes, and …

Background The rhizosphere microbiome, which is shaped by host genotypes, root
exudates, and plant domestication, is crucial for sustaining agricultural plant growth. Despite …

Chemical exchange often serves as the first step in plant–microbe interactions and
exchanges of various signals, nutrients, and metabolites continue throughout the interaction …
