The root microbiome refers to the community of microbes living in association with a plant's
roots, and includes mutualists, pathogens, and commensals. Here we focus on recent …

Plants interact with a diversity of microorganisms that influence their growth and resilience,
and they can therefore be considered as ecological entities, namely “plant holobionts,” …

Rhizosphere microbes play critical roles for plant's growth and health. Among them, the
beneficial rhizobacteria have the potential to be developed as the biofertilizer or …

Plant-associated microbiota can extend plant immune system function, improve nutrient
acquisition and availability, and alleviate abiotic stresses. Thus, naturally beneficial …

Flagellin, the protein subunit of the bacterial flagellum, stimulates the innate immune
receptor Toll-like receptor 5 (TLR5) after pattern recognition or evades TLR5 through lack of …

Plant cell surface pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) and intracellular immune receptors
cooperate to provide immunity to microbial infection. Both receptor families have coevolved …

Plant defense responses against insect herbivores are induced through wound-induced
signaling and the specific perception of herbivore-associated molecular patterns (HAMPs) …

In nature, roots of healthy plants are colonized by multikingdom microbial communities that
include bacteria, fungi, and oomycetes. A key question is how plants control the assembly of …

Highlights•The three-step root colonisation of chemotaxis, attachment and biofilm were
concluded.•The bidirectional chemical communication between microbes and root was …

Despite the plant health-promoting effects of plant microbiota, these assemblages also
comprise potentially detrimental microbes. How plant immunity controls its microbiota to …
