It is well established that plant hormones such as auxins, cytokinins (CKs), and abscisic acid (ABA) not only govern important plant physiological traits but are key players in plant-microbe interactions. A poorly appreciated fact, however, is that both microbes and animals produce and perceive plant hormones and their mimics. Moreover, dietary plant hormones impact on human physiological process such as glucose assimilation, inflammation, and cell division. This leads us to wonder whether plant hormones could ensure functions in microbes per se as well as in animal-microbe interactions. We propose here and explore the hypothesis that plant hormones play roles in animal-microbiota relationships, with consequences for human health.
众所周知，植物激素（如生长素、细胞分裂素（CKs）和脱落酸（ABA））不仅控制着重要的植物生理特性，而且还是植物-微生物相互作用的关键参与者。然而，一个鲜为人知的事实是，微生物和动物都能产生和感知植物激素及其类似物。此外，膳食植物激素会影响人类的生理过程，如葡萄糖吸收、炎症和细胞分裂。这让我们不禁思考，植物激素是否也能确保微生物本身以及动物-微生物相互作用中的功能。在这里，我们提出并探讨了这样一个假设，即植物激素在动物-微生物群关系中发挥作用，从而对人类健康产生影响。
