Abstract

There are feedforward and feedback loops along the microbiota-root-shoot axis to maintain plant growth or defense under environmental stresses. Here, we highlight a reciprocal interaction between the endodermis and the plant-bacterial community, which stabilizes the diffusion barriers to maintain nutrient homeostasis under nutritional stress.

Keywords: Casparian strip; abscisic acid; diffusion barrier; endodermis; microbiota; suberin.
