Abiotic stresses are the most significant factors reducing agricultural productivity. Plants face
extreme environmental conditions that may affect their biological mechanisms, thereby …

Plant diseases are a serious threat to the health and functionality of both natural and man-
made ecosystems. Diverse methods and strategies are being employed to prevent …

Mangroves are among the world's most productive ecosystems and a part of the “blue
carbon” sink. They act as a connection between the terrestrial and marine ecosystems …

Plants are colonized on their surfaces and in the rhizosphere and phyllosphere by a
multitude of different microorganisms and are inhabited internally by endophytes. Most …

In the past four decades, tremendous progress has been made in understanding how plants
respond to microbial colonization and how microbial pathogens and symbionts reprogram …

Abiotic stress poses a severe danger to agriculture since it negatively impacts cellular
homeostasis and eventually stunts plant growth and development. Abiotic stressors like …

Projections of global rice yields account for climate change. They do not, however, consider
the coupled stresses of impending climate change and arsenic in paddy soils. Here, we …

The phyllosphere—the aerial surfaces of plants, including leaves—is a ubiquitous global
habitat that harbors diverse bacterial communities. Phyllosphere bacterial communities have …

The surface of plant leaves, or the phyllosphere, harbors hyperdiverse microbial
communities. These communities mediate foliar functional traits, influence plant fitness, and …

One of the key tasks of the Sustainable Development Goals connected to Agriculture, Safety
and nutritional quality of food is to raise crop production per unit area without compromising …
