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

Background Research on beneficial mechanisms by plant-associated microbiomes, such as
plant growth stimulation and protection from plant pathogens, has gained considerable …

The concept of soil health refers to specific soil properties and the ability to support and
sustain crop growth and productivity, while maintaining long-term environmental quality. The …

A plant microbiome includes a microbial community that typically interacts extensively with a
plant. The plant microbiome can survive either inside or outside of plant tissues, performing …

Plant pathogens are responsible for many crop plant diseases, resulting in economic losses.
The use of bacterial agents is an excellent option to fight against plant pathogens and an …

Plants develop responses to abiotic stresses, like Fe deficiency. Similarly, plants also
develop responses to cope with biotic stresses provoked by biological agents, like …

Agricultural practices require novel products that allow sustainable development and
commercial production according to the needs of farmers and consumers. Therefore, in the …

Plants have inherent capabilities to modulate their resistance against both biotic and abiotic
stresses. Plant–microorganism interactions in the rhizosphere play vital role in such …

We analyzed the antifungal and plant growth-promoting (PGP) effects of diffusible and
volatile organic compounds (VOCs) produced by new rhizospheric isolates. The bacterial …

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 …
