Plant-Microbe Interactions and Immunity

This cluster of papers explores the mechanisms of plant immune response, including the role of root exudates, rhizosphere interactions with beneficial and pathogenic microorganisms, systemic acquired resistance, and the impact of plant growth-promoting bacteria. It delves into the signaling pathways, defense mechanisms, and hormonal modulation involved in plant immunity against microbial pathogens.
