Plants in nature are exposed to stress from a plethora of microbes in the soil that compete for
the organic carbon produced by the plants. Some microbes are beneficial to plants, and …

Indole glucosinolates (IGs) are tryptophan (Trp)-derived sulfur-containing specialized
metabolites that play a crucial role in plant-microbe interactions in plants of the order …

Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) bodies are ER‐derived structures that contain a large amount of
PYK10 myrosinase, which hydrolyzes tryptophan (Trp)‐derived indole glucosinolates (IGs) …

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 …

The selection of the microbiota by plants involves a large number of traits including the
physicochemical properties of the soil, the composition of the soil microbiota which is the …

The rhizosphere, a term introduced by Lorenz Hiltner in 1904, is defined as a thin layer of
soil that surrounds and is influenced by plant roots (Philippot et al., 2013). It can be divided …

The rhizosphere comprises of a plethora of microorganisms that either partage or exploits
nutrients from the host plants. Together, these microorganisms constitute the root microbiota …

Plants are shaped by the many microbes they host. But scientists are only beginning to
understand how, especially in underexplored plant structures like aerial roots. A new study …

Exuded plant metabolites play an important role in fostering beneficial interactions with the
surrounding soil microbiota, thereby helping plants to better adjust to changing …

There are feedforward and feedback loops along the microbiota–root–shoot axis to maintain
plant growth or defense under environmental stresses. Here, we highlight a reciprocal …
