Non-target organisms are globally exposed to herbicides. While many herbicides–for
example, glyphosate–were initially considered safe, increasing evidence demonstrates that …

Chemical exchange often serves as the first step in plant–microbe interactions and
exchanges of various signals, nutrients, and metabolites continue throughout the interaction …

The plant-signaling molecule auxin triggers fast and slow cellular responses across land
plants and algae. The nuclear auxin pathway mediates gene expression and controls …

Background Plant phenology has crucial biological, physical, and chemical effects on the
biosphere. Phenological drivers have largely been studied, but the role of plant microbiota …

The interaction of plants with complex microbial communities is the result of co‐evolution
over millions of years and contributed to plant transition and adaptation to land. The ability of …

Plants are under relentless challenge by pathogenic bacteria, fungi, and oomycetes, for
whom they provide a resource of living space and nutrients. Upon detection of pathogens …

Although plant roots encounter a plethora of microorganisms in the surrounding soil, at the
rhizosphere, plants exert selective forces on their bacterial colonizers. Unlike immune …

The plant signaling molecule auxin is present in multiple kingdoms of life. Since its
discovery, a century of research has been focused on its action as a phytohormone. In land …

The hemibiotrophic bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas syringae infects a range of plant
species and causes enormous economic losses. Auxin and WRKY transcription factors play …

Biofertilizers are an alternative to face the sustainability problem that chemical fertilizers
represent in agriculture. Among them, plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) is a …
