Small peptides: novel targets for modulating plant-rhizosphere microbe interactions.

The crucial role of rhizosphere microbes in plant growth and their resilience to environmental stresses underscores the intricate communication between microbes and plants. Plants are equipped with a diverse set of signaling molecules that facilitate communication across different biological kingdoms, although our comprehension of these mechanisms is still evolving. Small peptides produced by plants (SPPs) and microbes (SPMs) play a pivotal role in intracellular signaling and are essential in orchestrating various plant development stages. In this review, we posit that SPPs and SPMs serve as crucial signaling agents for the bidirectional cross-kingdom communication between plants and rhizosphere microbes. We explore several potential mechanistic pathways through which this communication occurs. Additionally, we propose that leveraging small peptides, inspired by plant-rhizosphere microbe interactions, represents an innovative approach in the field of holobiont engineering.
