Net structure of rhizospheric interactions between microorganisms and plants playing critical roles in below-ground ecosystem and sustainability of agriculture. [Contribution of rhizosphere effect generated by microbes and roots appears in the improvement of soil nutrients acquisition and bioabsorbable and biotransformation efficiency. Bioactive molecules used by roots and microbes for communication can influence: (1) microbial behavior (i.e., chemotaxis, colonization, growth, and group behavior); and (2) root growth and crop productivity.]
