Plant-microbe interactions refer to the relationships between plants and microorganisms, such as bacteria, fungi, and viruses, that can be either beneficial or harmful to the plant. Plants have evolved complex mechanisms to interact with microorganisms in order to promote growth, enhance nutrient uptake, and protect against pathogens. These interactions are crucial for plant health and play a significant role in nutrient cycling, soil fertility, and ecosystem stability. Research in this area aims to understand the mechanisms underlying these interactions and their potential applications in agriculture, biotechnology, and environmental management. Techniques such as molecular biology, genomics, and microbiology are commonly used to study plant-microbe interactions.
