Plants co\u2010evolve with rhizosphere microbial communities, sometimes described as the plant's second genome, that can contribute to drought adaptation. Drought alters root architecture, hormonal and redox regulation and belowground carbon allocation, thereby modifying the quantity and composition of root exudation and reshaping the rhizosphere environment. This review uses the rhizosphere dialogue as an integrative framework to link these plant responses with microbial recruitment and subsequent feedback to the host. We summarise three linked stages of this dialogue: drought\u2010induced changes in root exudation; microbial recruitment and colonisation through chemotaxis, attachment, biofilm formation, and root colonisation; and microbiome\u2010mediated feedback that improves plant water relations, hormonal and redox homoeostasis, nutrient acquisition, and root function. We highlight microbial extracellular polymeric substances, 1\u2010aminocyclopropane\u20101\u2010carboxylate deaminase, and microbial volatile organic compounds as key mediators of drought alleviation. We then discuss how this framework may inform rational synthetic microbial community (SynCom) design, microbiome\u2010informed breeding, artificial intelligence and machine\u2010learning assisted strain prioritisation, rhizosphere legacy effects, and real\u2010time monitoring. Future work should distinguish active exudate\u2010mediated recruitment from drought\u2010driven environmental filtering and integrate multi\u2010omics, plant genetics, functional validation, and multi\u2010location field trials to determine whether rhizosphere dialogue can become a predictive framework for climate\u2010resilient grass production.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/pce.70876","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,14]],"date-time":"2026-09-14T06:25:52Z","timestamp":1789367152000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Rhizosphere Dialogue: Microorganisms Mediated by Root Exudates Alleviate Drought Stress in Grasses"],"prefix":"10.1111","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2739-5340","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jinjin","family":"Liang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Herbage Improvement and Grassland Agro\u2010ecosystems, College of Pastoral Agriculture Science and Technology Lanzhou University Lanzhou China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wenli","family":"Ding","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Grassland Science Beijing Forestry University Beijing China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5131-7919","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xingxu","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Herbage Improvement and Grassland Agro\u2010ecosystems, College of Pastoral Agriculture Science and Technology Lanzhou University Lanzhou China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhibiao","family":"Nan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Herbage Improvement and Grassland Agro\u2010ecosystems, College of Pastoral Agriculture Science and Technology Lanzhou University Lanzhou China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.1016\/j.micres.2023.127564","article-title":"Harnessing Root Exudates for Plant Microbiome Engineering and Stress Resistance in Plants","volume":"279","author":"Afridi M.
