Secondary metabolites in plants have been recognized as a novel basis of potential bio-
pesticides, paving the way for their use in sustainable agriculture. Plant secondary …

Plants live in association with diverse microorganisms, collectively called the microbiome.
These microbes live either inside (endosphere) or outside (episphere) of plant tissues …

Phenylpropanoids and flavonoids are specialized metabolites frequently reported as
involved in plant defense to biotic or abiotic stresses. Their biosynthetic accumulation may …

In nature, plants constantly have to face pathogen attacks. However, plant disease rarely
occurs due to efficient immune systems possessed by the host plants. Pathogens are …

There is a concerted understanding of the ability of root exudates to influence the structure of
rhizosphere microbial communities. However, our knowledge of the connection between …

Plants host distinct bacterial communities on and inside various plant organs, of which those
associated with roots and the leaf surface are best characterized. The phylogenetic …

Plant secondary metabolites carry out numerous functions in interactions between plants
and a broad range of other organisms. Experimental evidence strongly supports the …

Plants are adapted to sense numerous stress stimuli and mount efficient defense responses
by directing intricate signaling pathways. They respond to undesirable circumstances to …

Roots of different plant species are colonized by bacterial communities, that are distinct even
when hosts share the same habitat. It remains unclear to what extent the host actively …

Nitrogen (N) is one of the most important elements that has a central impact on plant growth
and yield. N is also widely involved in plant stress responses, but its roles in host-pathogen …
