Plant-microbe interaction is the study of the complex relationships between plants and microorganisms—including bacteria, fungi, and viruses—that colonize plant tissues, roots, and the surrounding soil. These interactions range from mutualistic partnerships, such as nitrogen-fixing bacteria and mycorrhizal fungi, to pathogenic associations that cause disease, fundamentally shaping plant health, nutrient acquisition, and stress resilience. Understanding these dynamics is central to plant biology, as it informs strategies for improving crop productivity, developing sustainable agriculture, and engineering more robust plants.
