Abstract
The exploration of AI-2-related genes, especially CahR-type AI-2 receptors, greatly increased our insight into AI-2 as a potentially "universal" signal mediating social behaviors and will help us better understand microbial communication networks and the function of QS in plant-microbe interactions in complex microecosystems.
