In response to phosphate (Pi) deficiency, plants rapidly produce a substitutive amount of root hairs; however, the mechanisms underlying Pi supply for root hair growth remain unclear. Here, we observed that soybean (<i>Glycine max</i>) plants maintain a consistent level of Pi within root hairs even under external Pi deficiency. We therefore investigated the role of vacuole-stored Pi, a major Pi reservoir in plant cells, in supporting root hair growth under Pi-deficient conditions. Our findings indicated that two vacuolar Pi efflux (VPE) transporters, GmVPE1 and GmVPE2, remobilize vacuolar stored Pi to sustain cytosolic Pi content in root hair cells. Genetic analysis showed that double mutants of <i>GmVPE1</i> and <i>GmVPE2</i> exhibited reduced root hair growth under low Pi conditions. Moreover, <i>GmVPE1</i> and <i>GmVPE2</i> were highly expressed in root hairs, with their expression levels significantly upregulated by low Pi treatment. Further analysis revealed that GmRSL2 (ROOT HAIR DEFECTIVE 6-like 2), a transcription factor involved in root hair morphogenesis, directly binds to the promoter regions of <i>GmVPE1</i> and <i>GmVPE2</i>, and promotes their expressions under low Pi conditions. Additionally, mutants lacking both <i>GmRSL2</i> and its homolog <i>GmRSL3</i> exhibited impaired root hair growth under low Pi stress, which was rescued by overexpressing either <i>GmVPE1</i> or <i>GmVPE2</i>.

Some plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) could survive in high salt environment and assist plant adaptation to stress.

In the current work, a novel halotolerant PGPR strain, namely, <i>Bacillus</i> sp. strain RA can enhance tomato tolerance to salt stress. Comparative genomic analysis of strain RA with its closely related species indicated a high level of evolutionary plasticity exhibited by strain-specific genes and evolutionary constraints driven by purifying selection, which facilitated its genomic adaptation to salt-affected soils. The transcriptome further showed that strain RA could tolerate salt stress by balancing energy metabolism via the reprogramming of biosynthetic pathways. Plants exude a plethora of metabolites that can strongly influence plant fitness. The accumulation of <i>myo</i>-inositol in leaves under salt stress was observed, leading to the promotion of plant growth triggered by <i>Bacillus</i> sp. strain RA.

It promotes destabilizing properties in phyllosphere bacterial co-occurrence networks, but not in fungal networks. Furthermore, interdomain interactions between bacteria and fungi were strengthened by <i>myo</i>-inositol in response to salt stress.
