Abstract: In recent years,the frequent outbreak of varied diseases in agricultural crops,as well as the abuse and irrational use of fertilizers and pesticides have resulted in more severe agricultural issues,so that urgently needs more environmentally friendly and sustainable methods to achieve green plant protection. Plant viruses lead to severe damages to plants,which has been called as “cancer of plant” duo to extreme difficulties on its prevention and control and highly depending on the chemical pesticides to control vector insects. Crops in the agricultural ecosystem have evolved fine regulating mechanisms to maintain the information exchanges with surrounding harmful or beneficial organisms,and thus successfully grow well in the complex habitat. The outbreak and control of disease is the game process of resistance abstinence-counter among plant-pathogen-insect. Throughout their life cycle,plants interact and interconnect with a variety of organisms in habitats,which are conducive to or detrimental to their growth,development and reproduction. Exploring and studying the multipartite interaction mechanism of utilizing the plant rhizosphere microbiota to improve the resistances of plants against insect-transmitted diseases is conducive to better protecting plant health and increasing ecological civilization. Here we started to introduce research progresses on 4 interactive subsystems of plant-rhizosphere microorganisms,plant-virus,plant-insects,and plants-insects-virus,then exploited the known mechanisms of interconnections of all subsystems,and further discussed the trends and significances of having multipartite interactions on plant rhizosphere microbiota. Our aims are to completely and systematically understand interactions between plants and surrounding organisms,and thus to provide references and find new ideas in seeking green and sustainable measures of controlling plant insect-vector diseases based on the multipartite interaction mechanisms.

Key words: rhizosphere microbe, plant virus, vector-borne insect, multipartite interaction, green prevention and control
