The rhizosphere is the region around the plant roots where maximum microbial activities
occur. In the rhizosphere, microorganisms' beneficial and harmful activities affect plant …

Environmental (abiotic) stresses significantly threaten the worldwide crop production and
food security. Rapid, drastic changes in the global climate have exacerbated such stresses …

Formation of biofilm under varying stress conditions is a significant strategy adopted by
bacterial strains for their successful survival in plant rhizosphere. In this study, the activity of …

Soil salinization has emerged as one of the prime environmental constraints endangering
soil quality and agricultural productivity. Anthropogenic activities coupled with rapid pace of …

Despite significant progress in increasing agricultural production, meeting the changing
dietary preferences and increasing food demands of future populations remains a significant …

Abstract Main Conclusion The responses of plants to different abiotic stresses and
mechanisms involved in their mitigation are discussed. Production of osmoprotectants …

Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPRs) can suppress salt stress effects and improve
plant productivity. This study elucidated the mechanisms of growth medium-inoculated …

Arsenic (As) uptake by plants is largely influenced by the presence of microbial consortia
and their interactions with As. In the coastal region of Bengal deltaic plain of Eastern India …

In the current scenario of rapidly evolving climate change, crop plants are more frequently
subjected to stresses of both abiotic and biotic origin, including exposure to unpredictable …

Iron (Fe) bioavailability to plants is reduced in saline soils; however, the exact mechanisms
underlying this effect are not yet completely understood. Siderophore-expressing …
