To examine the ecology of soft rot Erwinias and how beneficial microorganisms in the root microbiome prime whole-plant immunity against disease.
Reviewed ecological interactions between soft rot Erwinias and plant host tissues.
Assessed rhizosphere colonization mechanisms of plant growth–promoting bacteria and fungi that trigger defense pathways.
Root-associated mutualistic microbes improve overall plant health and vitality within the rhizosphere.
Selected plant growth–promoting bacteria and fungi prime systemic defenses across the entire plant body via induced systemic resistance.

Implication

Review demonstrates induced systemic resistance mediated by root-associated microbes in plants, indicating sustainable biological strategies against soft rot pathogens.

Abstract

Beneficial microbes in the microbiome of plant roots improve plant health. Induced systemic resistance (ISR) emerged as an important mechanism by which selected plant growth–promoting bacteria and fungi in the rhizosphere prime the whole plant body for ...Read More
