摘　　要：The rhizosphere plays a crucial role in plant growth and resilience to biotic and abiotic stresses,highlighting the complex communication between plants and their dynamic rhizosphere environment.Plants produce a wide range of signaling molecules that facilitate communication with various rhizosphere factors,yet our understanding of these mechanisms remains elusive.In addition to protein-coding genes,increasing evidence underscores the critical role of microRNAs(miRNAs),a class of non-coding single-stranded RNA molecules,in regulating plant growth,development,and responses to rhizosphere stresses under diverse biotic and abiotic factors.In this review,we explore the crosstalk between miRNAs and their target mRNAs,which influence the development of key plant structures shaped by the belowground environment.Moving forward,more focused studies are needed to clarify the functions and expression patterns of miRNAs,to uncover the common regulatory mechanisms that mediate plant tolerance to rhizosphere dynamics.Beyond that,we propose that using artificial miRNAs and manipulating the expression of miRNAs and their targets through overexpression or knockout/knockdown approaches could effectively investigate their roles in plant responses to rhizosphere stresses,offering significant potential for advancing crop engineering.
