In the well‐known legume–rhizobia symbiosis, flavonoids released by legume roots induce expression of the Nod factors and trigger early plant responses involved in root nodulation. However, it remains largely unknown how the plant‐derived flavonoids influence the physiology of non‐symbiotic beneficial rhizobacteria. In this work, we demonstrated that the flavonoids apigenin and/or phloretin enhanced the swarming motility and production of cellulose and curli inPseudomonas fluorescens2P24, both traits of which are essential for root colonization. Using a label‐free quantitative proteomics approach, we showed that apigenin and phloretin significantly reduced the biosynthesis of the antifungal metabolite 2,4‐DAPG and further identified a novel flavonoid‐sensing TetR regulator PhlH, which was shown to modulate 2,4‐DAPG production by regulating the expression of 2,4‐DAPG hydrolase PhlG. Although having similar structures, apigenin and phloretin could also influence different physiological characteristics ofP.fluorescens2P24, with apigenin decreasing the biofilm formation and phloretin inducing expression of proteins involved in the denitrification and arginine fermentation processes. Taken together, our results suggest that plant‐derived flavonoids could be sensed by the TetR regulator PhlH inP.fluorescens2P24 and acts as important signalling molecules that strengthen mutually beneficial interactions between plants and non‐symbiotic beneficial rhizobacteria.
