In the heterogeneous and fluctuating environments in which plants grow, they must efficiently acquire essential nutrients to sustain growth and development. Root endosymbioses, including dinitrogen (N2)-fixing nodulation and arbuscular mycorrhization, enable plants to cope with limitations of soil mineral nutrients, such as nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P). Secreted signaling peptides have recently emerged as key regulators of these two evolutionarily related endosymbioses, including the C-TERMINALLY ENCODED PEPTIDES (CEPs) and the CLAVATA3/EMBRYO SURROUNDING REGION RELATED (CLE) peptides. By elucidating the intricate relationships between these signaling peptides and nutrient dynamics, we highlight in this review their potential as targets for coordinating and prioritizing plant nutrition in limiting environments.
