REPROGRAMMING THE HOST PLANT. “In addition to antibiotic compounds, microbes produce secondary metabolites to alter plant signalling and metabolism in order to receive nutrients. This microbial reprogramming of the plant can alter the composition of root exudates and induce the release of more favourable exudates, which may lead to a selective enrichment of respective microbes in the rhizosphere.”
