plant-microbe-signaling
Plant-microbe signaling refers to the molecular communication that occurs between plants and microorganisms, including bacteria and fungi, through chemical signals such as hormones, secondary metabolites, and receptor-mediated recognition pathways. These interactions can be mutualistic, as in nitrogen-fixing symbioses, or defensive, as in pathogen recognition and immune responses. Understanding these signaling networks is central to plant biology because they influence nutrient acquisition, disease resistance, and growth—offering potential pathways for developing more resilient and sustainable crops.
