Plants are exposed to beneficial and adverse microbial interaction ranging from endoand epiphytic symbionts to biotrophic and necrotrophic fungal and bacterial pathogens. Based on the coordinated response of primary metabolism and defense responses the spatial and temporal dynamics of the interaction will be characterized and verified by dual functional approaches. Strategies will be developed to increase tolerance while minimizing the cost of defense and the use of pesticides. Special attention will be given to the neglected growth promoting microbes, sugar-signaling and the interaction of hormones with defense pathways.
