Abstract
Study on plant differentiation between beneficial and pathogenic microorganisms How do plants differentiate friend from foe?. Answering this question is critical to understanding how plants recognize and allow their colonization by beneficial microorganisms, which improve their fitness, adaptation, and survival in hostile environments while deploying a multilayer immune system that thwarts pathogen colonization and avoids diseases (Figure 1). The multidisciplinary works published in this Research Topic contribute to answering this burning question in the plant interaction with fungi, bacteria, viruses, and microbial communities.
