Microorganisms produce and excrete a versatile array of metabolites with different physico-
chemical properties and biological activities. However, the ability of microorganisms to …

Signaling studies in the rhizosphere have focused on close interactions between plants and
symbiotic microorganisms. However, this focus is likely to expand to other microorganisms …

Microbial communities play a pivotal role in the functioning of plants by influencing their
physiology and development. While many members of the rhizosphere microbiome are …

A number of bacteria, and some plants, produce large quantities of indole, which is
widespread in animal intestinal tracts and in the rhizosphere. Indole, as an interspecies and …

Plants host distinct bacterial communities on and inside various plant organs, of which those
associated with roots and the leaf surface are best characterized. The phylogenetic …

Microbial volatile organic compounds (MVOCs) are produced by a wide array of
microorganisms ranging from bacteria to fungi. A growing body of evidence indicates that …

Plants have incredible developmental plasticity, enabling them to respond to a wide range of
environmental conditions. Among these conditions is the presence of plant growth …

Bacterial interactions with neighboring microorganisms via production of small metabolites
enable bacteria to respond and adapt to environmental changes. The study of intercellular …

The constant struggle between plants and microbes has driven the evolution of multiple
defense strategies in the host as well as offense strategies in the pathogen. To defend …

In both plants and animals, defense against pathogens relies on a complex surveillance
system for signs of danger. Danger signals may originate from the infectious agent or from …
