Exploring Fungal Communication Mechanisms in the Rhizosphere Microbiome for a Sustainable Green Agriculture

In the long-term evolutionary process, species maintain a natural balance within certain limits through communication. As plants grow and function as producers, root enrichment fosters a dynamic rhizosphere microbiome, which serves not only as a disintegrator within the ecological niche but also as a medium for interaction between the host and the soil environment. The life cycle of fungi within the microbiome alternates between single-cell resting spores and multicellular trophic mycelia. This cycle not only establishes a stable rhizosphere environment but also plays a crucial role in regulating both intra- and interspecific information transmission, significantly impacting the environment and plant health. The rhizosphere microbiome, particularly the fungi it contains, can be harnessed to repair environmental damage and either promote the growth of the plant host or inhibit pathogens. However, the mechanisms underlying these actions remain inadequately understood, hindering the advancement of artificial regulation. Additionally, the variability of influencing factors, along with unstable genes and traits, poses challenges to industrial development. In conclusion, this paper focuses on the fungal components of the rhizosphere microbiome, introduces the mechanisms of communication and current applications, and further analyzes existing bottlenecks and potential solutions. The aim is to provide theoretical support for achieving green, sustainable agriculture through biological means.
