摘要：

Plant-microbe interactions are critical to ecosystem resilience and substantially influence crop production. From the perspective of plant science, two important focus areas concerning plant-microbe interactions include: 1) understanding plant molecular mechanisms involved in plant-microbe interfaces and 2) engineering plants for increasing plant disease resistance or enhancing beneficial interactions with microbes to increase their resilience to biotic and abiotic stress conditions. Molecular biology and genetics approaches have been used to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying plant responses to various beneficial and pathogenic microbes. While these approaches are valuable for elucidating the functions of individual genes and pathways, they fall short of unraveling the complex cross-talk across pathways or systems that plants employ to respond and adapt to environmental stresses. Also, genetic engineering of plants to increase disease resistance or enhance symbiosis with microbes has mainly been attempted or conducted through targeted manipulation of single genes/pathways of plants. Recent advancements in synthetic biology tool development are paving the way for multi-gene characterization and engineering in plants in relation to plant-microbe interactions. Here, we briefly summarize the current understanding of plant molecular pathways involved in plant interactions with beneficial and pathogenic microorganisms. Then, we highlight the progress in applying plant synthetic biology to elucidate the molecular basis of plant responses to microbes, enhance plant disease resistance, engineer synthetic symbiosis, and conduct in situ microbiome engineering. Lastly, we discuss the challenges, opportunities, and future directions for advancing plant-microbe interactions research using the capabilities of plant synthetic biology.
