Plant health in natural environments depends on interactions with complex and dynamic communities comprising macro- and microorganisms. While many studies have provided insights into the composition of rhizosphere microbiomes (rhizobiomes), little is known about whether plants shape their rhizobiomes. In this work, we discuss physiological factors of plants that may govern plant–microbe interactions, focusing on root physiology and the role of root exudates. Given that only a few plant transport proteins are known to be involved in root metabolite export, we suggest novel families putatively involved in this process. Finally, building off of the features discussed in this review, and in analogy to well-known symbioses, we elaborate on a possible sequence of events governing rhizobiome assembly. Recent advances in sequencing technology have been enabling high-throughput characterization of highly complex plant-associated microbial communities, which are relevant for plant health. Metagenomic approaches have been identifying the metabolic potential of microbes, and are starting to reveal functional groups of microbes, reducing the overall complexity of rhizobiomes. Metabolomic studies are uncovering differential root exudation in various environments and plant developmental stages, as well as consumption of specific exometabolites by microbes. Genome-wide association studies and other comparative genomic approaches have been revealing a link between plant genetic factors, exudation profiles, and microbiome compositions. Finally, molecular studies have been characterizing plant transport proteins necessary for interactions with specific microbes, although the transport of most nutrients and signaling molecules remains unexplored.
