ABSTRACT
Plant-microbe communication involves a rich language of chemical signals. Among these signals are plant hormones such as auxins, which are primarily recognized for their roles in plant development. However, they also function in modulating plant-microbe interactions. Interestingly, many bacteria are capable of producing auxins too. Yet, the mechanisms by which auxins affect bacteria and the regulatory processes controlling their production are largely unknown. Rico-Jiménez and colleagues present new insights into the effects of the auxin indole-3-acetic acid on the physiology of the rhizobacterium Serratia plymuthica (M. Rico-Jiménez, Z. Udaondo, T. Krell, and M. A. Matilla, mSystems 9e00165-24, 2024, https//doi.org/10.1128/msystems.00165-24). Their work provides a deeper mechanistic understanding of bacterial transcriptional responses to plant hormones and the impact on bacterial fitness in the context of the rhizosphere environment.
