The concept of one health highlights that human health is not isolated but connected to the
health of animals, plants and environments. In this Review, we demonstrate that soils are a …

Plant secondary metabolites (PSMs) play many roles including defense against pathogens,
pests, and herbivores; response to environmental stresses, and mediating organismal …

Abiotic stresses and soil nutrient limitations are major environmental conditions that reduce

Mycorrhizas are among the most important biological interkingdom interactions, as they
involve~ 340,000 land plants and~ 50,000 taxa of soil fungi. In these mutually beneficial …

New eco-friendly approaches are required to improve plant biomass production. Beneficial
plant growth-promoting (PGP) bacteria may be exploited as excellent and efficient …

The root microbiome refers to the community of microbes living in association with a plant's
roots, and includes mutualists, pathogens, and commensals. Here we focus on recent …

Global population growth poses a threat to food security in an era of increased ecosystem
degradation, climate change, soil erosion, and biodiversity loss. In this context, harnessing …

Simple Summary Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are an eco-friendly
alternative to the use of chemicals in agricultural production and crop protection. However …
