Plants contain diverse microbial communities. The associated microorganisms confer
advantages to the host plant, which include growth promotion, nutrient absorption, stress …

Abiotic stresses are an increasing challenge to crop production all over the world. These
stresses include high and low temperatures, salinity, flooding, drought, nutrient limitation …

Microbial communities are the fundamental engines for balanced ecosystem function,
natural ecological harmony, biotic and abiotic stress mitigation, nutrient recycling …

The advancement of omics-based approaches and next-generation sequencing has
unveiled the principles underlying the plant-microbiome interaction in the last decade …

The present research asks how plant growth-promoting bacterial (PGPB) inoculants and
chemical fertilizers change rhizosphere and root endophytic bacterial communities in durum …

Drought affects plant hormonal homeostasis, including root to shoot signalling. The plant is
intimately connected below-ground with soil-dwelling microbes, including plant growth …

Plants often experience unfavorable conditions during their life cycle that impact their growth
and sometimes their survival. A temporary phase of such stress, which can result from heavy …

The importance of increasing crop production while reducing resource inputs and land-use
change cannot be overstated especially in light of climate change and a human population …

Nutrient availability is a determining factor for crop yield and quality. While fertilization is a
major approach for improving plant nutrition, its efficacy can be limited and the production …
