Highlights•Plants assemble microbial communities in their rhizosphere through signaling
molecules.•Of just a few of these signaling molecules, the biosynthesis and perception have …

Every organism on earth relies on associations with its neighbors to sustain life. For
example, plants form associations with neighboring plants, microflora, and microfauna, while …

Recent work has shown that the rhizospheric and phyllospheric microbiomes of plants are
composed of highly diverse microbial species. Though the information pertaining to the …

Studies of chemical signaling between plants and bacteria in the past have been largely
confined to two models: the rhizobial-legume symbiotic association and pathogenesis …

In the past four decades, tremendous progress has been made in understanding how plants
respond to microbial colonization and how microbial pathogens and symbionts reprogram …

Plant growth and development involves a tight coordination of the spatial and temporal
organization of cell division, cell expansion and cell differentiation. Orchestration of these …

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 …

Although the influence of microbiomes on the health of plant hosts is evident, specific
