Abstract
Drought is one of the most devastating environmental challenges, severely affecting agriculture, ecosystems, and global food security. Effective strategies to predict and mitigate drought are limited. The root-soil-microbiome interface is pivotal in mediating plant resilience to drought. Recent studies highlight dynamics between plant root exudates and microbial communities, influencing stress tolerance through chemical signaling under drought. By integrating plant molecular biology, root chemistry, and microbiome research, we discuss insights into how these mechanisms can be harnessed to enhance crop resilience. Here, we focus on the interplay between plants and their microbiomes with metabolites as a central point of interactions. We synthesize recent developments, identify critical knowledge gaps, and propose future directions to leverage plant-microbe interactions to improve plant drought tolerance.
期刊介绍：
Trends in Plant Science is the primary monthly review journal in plant science, encompassing a wide range from molecular biology to ecology. It offers concise and accessible reviews and opinions on fundamental plant science topics, providing quick insights into current thinking and developments in plant biology. Geared towards researchers, students, and teachers, the articles are authoritative, authored by both established leaders in the field and emerging talents.
