Systemic immunity triggered by local plant–microbe interactions is studied as systemic
acquired resistance (SAR) or induced systemic resistance (ISR) depending on the site of …

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 …

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 …

One of the major questions in contemporary plant science involves determining the
functional mechanisms that plants use to shape their microbiome. Plants produce a plethora …

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 share their natural environment with numerous microorganisms, commensal as well
as harmful. Plant fitness and performance are thus dependent on an efficient communication …

Iron plays a crucial role in biochemistry and is an essential micronutrient for plants and
humans alike. Although plentiful in the Earth's crust it is not usually found in a form readily …

Plants shape their rhizosphere microbiome by secreting root exudates into the soil
environment. Recently, root-exuded coumarins were identified as novel players in plant …

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 immune receptors perceive microbial molecules and initiate an array of biochemical
responses that are effective against most invaders. The role of the plant immune system in …
