Root-Microbe Interactions: the Importance of Protein Secretion
The interactions between plants and microbes have been widely studied using gene expression studies and small molecule exchange between organisms. For the most part, these studies have focused on aboveground interactions and fewer studies have examined these types of processes belowground. The purpose of this review is to summarize the current literature looking at the interactions between roots and soil microbes, with an emphasis on the exchange of proteins between the organisms. Roots can establish close contact with different microorganisms in the rhizosphere, from pathogens to beneficial bacteria such as nitrogen fixers; recent data indicate that protein exchange is an integral part of these associations. These interactions include the release by roots of defense proteins, proteins involved in bacterial chemotaxis and proteins found inside root border cells, and release of proteins from bacteria that could activate innate immunity in plants. The overall goal of this review is to convey recent proteomic information related to root-microbe exchange to identify potential areas of development to improve agriculture.

Summary: | The interactions between plants and microbes have been widely studied using gene expression studies and
small molecule exchange between organisms. For the most part, these studies have focused on aboveground interactions
and fewer studies have examined these types of processes belowground. The purpose of this review is to summarize the
current literature looking at the interactions between roots and soil microbes, with an emphasis on the exchange of proteins
between
the
organisms.
Roots
can
establish
close
contact
with
different
microorganisms
in
the
rhizosphere,
from
pathogens
to
beneficial
bacteria
such
as
nitrogen
fixers;
recent
data
indicate
that
protein
exchange
is
an
integral
part
of
these
associations.
These
interactions
include
the
release
by roots
of
defense
proteins,
proteins
involved
in
bacterial
chemotaxis
and
proteins
found
inside
root
border
cells,
and
release
of
proteins
from
bacteria
that
could
activate
innate
immunity
in
plants.
The overall
goal
of this
review
is
to
convey
recent
proteomic
information
related
to
root-microbe
exchange
to
identify
potential
areas
of
development
to
