Legumes, unlike most land plants, can form symbiotic root nodules with nitrogen‐fixing
bacteria to secure nitrogen for growth. The formation of nitrogen‐fixing nodules on legume …

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 …

Beneficial interactions between plant roots and rhizosphere microorganisms are pivotal for
plant fitness. Nevertheless, the molecular mechanisms controlling the feedback between …

During their evolution, plants have acquired the ability to produce a huge variety of
compounds. Unlike the specialized metabolites that accumulate in limited numbers of …

A growing body of research is highlighting the impacts root-associated microbial
communities can have on plant health and development. These impacts can include …

Nitrogen fixing symbioses between plants and bacteria are ancient and, while not
numerous, are formed in diverse lineages of plants ranging from microalgae to …

Flavonoids are crucial signaling molecules in the symbiosis between legumes and their
nitrogen-fixing symbionts, the rhizobia. The primary function of flavonoids in the interaction is …

Plants generate a wide variety of organic components during their different growth phases.
The majority of those compounds have been classified as primary and secondary …

Plants can develop an enhanced defensive capacity in response to infection by arbuscular
mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). This 'mycorrhiza-induced resistance'(MIR) provides systemic …

Microorganisms are found everywhere, and they are closely associated with plants.
Because the establishment of any plant–microbe association involves chemical …
