Rhizophagy and Other Cross-talk in Rhizobiocomplex, Volume II

This is the second edition of this Research Topic series, you can explore the first addition here: Rhizophagy and Other Cross-talk in RhizobiocomplexRhizophagy is a symbiotic interactions between plant roots and soil microorganisms, a relationship central to plant health and productivity. This process encompasses the transition of microorganisms from free-living soil organisms to symbiotic partners within root cells, a key process that enables nutrient transfer and fortifying plant resilience against environmental stresses. Recent studies have begun to highlight the importance of microbial shifts and physiological adaptations within the plant root system, revealing their essential roles in both ecosystem dynamics and plant growth.This Research Topic aims to enhance the understanding of the rhizophagy cycle and explore its wider implications for ecological stability and agricultural improvement. While contemporary research has illuminated the complex interplay within plant tissues, many microbial strategies and interactions remain unexplored. Our goal is toidentify and better understand these mechanisms and interactions, thereby identifying how they can be harnessed to optimize agricultural yield and ecosystem health.To advance knowledge in this field, we welcome contributions addressing, but not limited to, the following themes:o Biochemical pathways facilitating nutrient exchange between microbes and plantso Composition and function of root-associated microbial communitieso Impact of microbial signals on plant physiological processeso Innovative methodologies bridging microbiology, botany, and environmental scienceso Strategies for harnessing microbial functions to enhance crop resilience and productivityBy concentrating on these areas through original research, methodological advancements, and comprehensive reviews, we aim to compile a collection of studies that advances the utilization of microbial processes for sustainable agricultural practices.
