Microbial elicitors to metabolic reprogramming: an integrative model of plant-microbe interactions
Nihar Ranjan Singh
Plant growth, soil health, and crop productivity with nutritional quality can be significantly enhanced by employing microbial consortia that incorporate diverse microorganisms with complementary functions. Plants produce various types of secondary metabolites such as terpenoids, alkaloids, phenolics, essential oils, and other metabolites through various cellular mechanisms, which are often stimulated by microbial interactions. These metabolites exert beneficial effects on plants and perform mul
