Decoding the rhizosphere immune signaling network: Microbiome-driven modulation of plant immunity and disease resistance.

Classical plant immunity models rely on pattern-triggered immunity (PTI) and effector-triggered immunity (ETI), yet these frameworks largely overlook the rhizosphere microbiome as a functional determinant of disease resistance. Plants act as holobionts, their root exudates comprising flavonoids, coumarins, benzoxazinoi...
