Abstract
The soil microbiome drives plant health and productivity. Recently, Sun and colleagues described a unique plant-microbe signaling cascade that enables selenium nanoparticle (SeNPs) formation by rhizosphere microbiota. These SeNPs boost maize performance by enriching plant-beneficial bacteria in a dose-dependent manner, offering novel paradigm for nano-microbiome engineering to promote sustainable food production.
