Plant-microbe interactions and the plant microbiome play a critical role in shaping plant growth, health, and productivity. This review provides a comprehensive review of current knowledge on the topic, including the dynamics of plant-microbe interactions, the composition and functions of the plant microbiome, and its impact on various aspects of plant growth and health. The mutualistic relationships between leguminous plants and nitrogen-fixing rhizobia bacteria, and between plants and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, are discussed, as well as parasitic relationships between plants and microorganisms. The impact of the plant microbiome on nutrient acquisition and uptake, defense against pathogens, stress tolerance, and plant hormone regulation is also explored. The review concludes by highlighting the potential for further exploration and discovery in this exciting area of research and its implications for improving crop productivity and sustainability.
