In Mexico, the center of maize origin ( Zea mays ssp. ), there are landraces from highlands that develop extensive aerial root systems which secrete a carbohydrate-rich mucilage. This mucilage produces favorable environment for nitrogenase activity by diazotrophs. plant-microbial interaction enables fixation nitrogen (N) atmosphere, reducing required N otherwise must come soil and/or fertilizers.

Metabolism is the sum of enzyme-dependent chemical reactions, which produces energy in catabolic process and synthesizes biomass anabolic process, exhibiting high similarity mammalian cell, microbial plant cell. Consequently, loss or gain metabolic enzyme activity greatly affects cellular metabolism. Nanozymes, as emerging mimics with diverse functions adjustable catalytic activities, have shown attractive potential for regulation. Although basic tasks are highly similar cells from different species, concrete pathway varies intracellular structure species. Here, metabolism living organisms described similarities differences pathways among mammalian, microbial, regulation mechanism discussed. The recent progress on mainly including nutrient uptake utilization, production, accompanied redox reactions by kinds oxidoreductases their applications field disease therapy, antimicrobial sustainable agriculture systematically reviewed. Furthermore, prospects challenges nanozymes regulating cell also discussed, broaden application scenarios.

Summary Nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) are the most important macronutrients required for plant growth development. To cope with limited uneven distribution of N P in complicated soil environments, plants have evolved intricate molecular strategies to improve nutrient acquisition that involve adaptive root development, production exudates, assistance microbes. Recently, great advances been made understanding regulation uptake utilization how balance direct nutrients from beneficial microbes such as arbuscular mycorrhiza. Here, we summarize major these areas highlight responses changes availability external environment through local systemic signals.
