Beyond defense: microbial modifications of plant specialized metabolites alter and expand their ecological functions

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 247, Issue 2, Page 518-526, July 2025.
Summary Plant specialized metabolites (PSMs) are compounds that are not involved in primary metabolism but instead confer other roles for the plant host, often related to ecological interactions. In the field of plant–microbe interactions, many PSMs have traditionally been considered for their roles in shaping interactions with pathogens.
