Root and bacterial secretions regulate the interaction between plants and PGPR leading to distinct plant growth promotion effects

Background and aims Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) have garnered interest in agriculture due to their ability to influence the growth and production of host plants. ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters play important roles in plant-microbe interactions by modulating plant root exudation. The present study aimed to provide a more precise understanding of the mechanism and specificity of the interaction between PGPR and host plants.
