Abstract: Plants and microorganisms form a complex and subtle symbiotic system in the process of co-evolution. Plant hormones such as auxin and cytokinin not only regulate the plant development,but also play an important role in plant-microbial interactions. This review summarizes recent advances in our understanding of how auxin and cytokinin regulate the interaction between plant roots and soil microbes,including fungi,beneficial/pathogenic bacteria,aiming at revealing the similarities and specificities of auxin’s and cytokinin’s regulatory functions,thereby providing theoretical and practical guidance for crop production and resistance to microbial disease.

Key words: auxin, cytokinin, disease resistance, interaction
