Abstract
Plants recruit specific soil microbes through a sophisticated 'cry for help' strategy to mitigate environmental stresses. Recent advances highlight the potential of leveraging this mechanism to develop microbe-based approaches for enhancing crop health, but challenges remain in refining the criteria and conceptual frameworks to effectively investigate and harness these plant-microbe interactions.
