Simple Summary Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are an eco-friendly
alternative to the use of chemicals in agricultural production and crop protection. However …

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 …

Microbial endophytes are present in all known plant species. The ability to enter and thrive
in the plant tissues makes endophytes unique, showing multidimensional interactions within …

The progression of life in all forms is not only dependent on agricultural and food security but
also on the soil characteristics. The dynamic nature of soil is a direct manifestation of soil …

Disease suppressive soils typically develop after a disease outbreak due to the subsequent
assembly of protective microbiota in the rhizosphere. The role of the plant immune system in …

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 …

In natural environments, plants are exposed to diverse microbiota that they interact with in
complex ways. While plant–pathogen interactions have been intensely studied to …

Coumarins are a family of plant-derived secondary metabolites that are produced via the
phenylpropanoid pathway. In the past decade, coumarins have emerged as iron-mobilizing …

Plants are colonized on their surfaces and in the rhizosphere and phyllosphere by a
multitude of different microorganisms and are inhabited internally by endophytes. Most …

The molecular basis of plant immunity triggered by microbial pathogens is being well-
characterized as a complex sequential process leading to the activation of defense …
