摘要

Endophytes within plant tissues significantly impact plant health and productivity. The intricate signaling of molecular communication between endophytes and their host plants remains a captivating enigma in the realm of plant-microbe interactions. This chapter is focused on identifying key molecular components governing the initiation and modulation of endophyte communication within host plants, which in turn utilizes advanced molecular biology techniques, gene expression profiling, functional assays, etc. It meticulously elucidates the specific signaling cascades activated during host recognition events, emphasizing the significance of signals from both plants and endophytes for successful symbiotic interactions. Additionally, this chapter probes the role of secondary metabolites and small signaling molecules as potential mediators in host recognition. Through integrating transcriptomic and metabolomic approaches, this chapter aims to unveil the dynamic interplay between host and endophyte, shedding light on intricate regulatory networks. This chapter will provide valuable insights into the fundamental processes governing endophyte-host interactions. This knowledge has the potential to inform strategies for optimizing plant-microbe associations in agriculture, promoting sustainable practices, and harnessing the full potential of endophytes for enhancing plant growth and resilience across diverse environmental conditions.
