Breve descrizione della Special issue (max 200 caratteri in inglese)	The application of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) as biofertilizers or biocontrol agents has become an effective alternative to conventional fertilizers for increasing crop productivity at a low cost. The dynamic ecological systems comprising plants and their associated microbiomes, the so-called plant holobionts, harbor untapped potential for revolutionizing agriculture. Plant–microbe interactions depend upon host plant-secreted signals and the reactions of their associated bacteria. However, the molecular mechanisms of how beneficial bacteria respond to their associated plant-derived signals are not fully understood. The complex interactions that exist between the soil microbiome and plants have a significant impact on agricultural sustainability. Factors like soil characteristics, plant species, genetics, developmental stages, and agricultural practices shape soil/root/plant microbial communities. Developing multi-omics technologies—genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics, along with plant pan-genomics and metagenomics, has completely changed our ability to analyze and comprehend the dynamics between plants and microbes. We are pleased to invite you to submit your latest research to a Special Issue titled “Plant-Microbe Interactome: The Green Dialogue Within the Plant Holobiont”, which aims to explore cutting-edge research highlighting the mechanisms governing plant holobiont interactions, offering insights into sustainable agricultural practices and environmentally friendly approaches to optimizing plant–microbe relationships. The Special Issue will focus on plant microbiome interactions and their biotechnological potential to develop novel solutions for ecosystem health and sustainable agriculture. Understanding these complex interactions has great potential to advance sustainable methods and guarantee global food security when facing environmental and climate change.
