Microbial priming of plant and animal immunity: symbionts as developmental signals

Highlights • Root and gut microbiota make a crucial contribution to the nutrition and protection of the host. • Microbial colonization induces immunity maturation at germination or birth. • Microbes have been repeatedly recruited as a developmental signal during evolution. • Dependency on microbes a...

Summary:Highlights • Root and gut microbiota make a crucial contribution to the nutrition and protection of the host. • Microbial colonization induces immunity maturation at germination or birth. • Microbes have been repeatedly recruited as a developmental signal during evolution. • Dependency on microbes as signals may not be adaptive, but simply contingent.
