Plant hormones are chemical messengers that are involved in cellular and physiological processes. Rhizosphere soil microorganisms play important roles in plant growth and the adaptability of plants to adverse environmental stresses. Drought tends to have a great impact on the abundance and diversity of soil fungal communities. Soil fungi affect plant endogenous phytohormone signaling to influence lateral root and primary root growth. The function of hormones is as go-betweens between plants and microbes to influence the shape of plant microbial communities. Understanding how plant hormones impact the root microbiome in crops is critical for our ability to manipulate plant-microbiome interactions under drought for increased plant production.
