Plants, being sessile organisms, are exposed to widely varying environmental conditions
throughout their life cycle. Compatible plant-microbe interactions favor plant growth and …

Lipo-chito-oligosaccharide (LCO–from Bradyrhizobium japonicum) and thuricin 17 (Th17–
from Bacillus thuringiensis) are bacterial signal compounds from the rhizosphere of soybean …

Salt stress is an important abiotic stressor affecting crop growth and productivity. Of the 20
percent of the terrestrial earth's surface available as agricultural land, 50 percent is …

A plant growing under natural conditions is always associated with a substantial, diverse,
and well-orchestrated community of microbes—the phytomicrobiome. The phytomicrobiome …

Biotic and abiotic stress factors serve as consistent threats to a plant's life cycle. Biotic stress
factors such as damage through pathogens or herbivore attack as well as abiotic stress …

Plants often experience various biotic and abiotic stresses during their life cycle. The abiotic
stresses include mainly drought, salt, temperature (low/high), flooding and nutritional …

Abiotic stress causes diverse biochemical and physiological changes in plants and limits
crop productivity. Plants respond and adapt to such stress by altering their cellular …

The rapid increase in soil salinization has impacted agricultural output and poses a threat to
food security. There is an urgent need to focus on improving soil fertility and agricultural …

Proteomics is one of the finest molecular techniques extensively being used for the study of
protein profiling of a given plant species experiencing stressed conditions. Plants respond to …

Plants are challenged by abiotic stress factors such as low water availability (drought),
excess water (flooding/waterlogging), extremes of temperatures (cold, chilling, frost, and …
