Symbiotic signals: Communication between plants and beneficial microbes

Ding Hu

Symbiotic interactions between plants and beneficial microbes constitute a fascinating realm of ecological and agricultural significance. This mini-review delves into the intricate world of communication that underpins these partnerships, exploring the diverse signaling mechanisms that enable mutualistic relationships between plants and microbes. The molecular dialogues between these organisms facilitate essential processes, such as nutrient acquisition, stress mitigation, and disease resistance. By dissecting the mechanisms of symbiotic signaling, we gain insights into the coevolutionary dynamics that shape these relationships, paving the way for innovative applications in sustainable agriculture and ecosystem management.
