Water is the key resource limiting world agricultural production. Although an impressive
number of research reports have been published on plant drought tolerance enhancement …

In the coming century, climate change and the increasing human population are likely
leading agriculture to face multiple challenges. Agricultural production has to increase while …

Plants being sessile are constantly challenged by numerous abiotic stressors that
jeopardize their survival. Drought stress is a major constraint in sustainable agriculture that …

Root-associated microbes can improve plant growth, and they offer the potential to increase
crop resilience to future drought. Although our understanding of the complex feedbacks …

Drought stress affects plant growth and causes significant issues in meeting global demand
for food crops and fodder. Drought can cause physiological, physicochemical, and …

Drought is a major constraint on agricultural production. Crop genetic improvement for
drought tolerance has received much attention and there is ample information about the …

Beneficial root-associated rhizospheric microbes play a key role in maintaining host plant
growth and can potentially allow drought-resilient crop production. The complex interaction …

Drought is one of the main abiotic stresses that cause crop yield loss. Improving crop yield
under drought stress is a major goal of crop breeding, as it is critical to food security. The …

We examined the effect of soil microbial communities on plant physiological responses to
drought. Bouteloua gracilis seeds were planted in sterilized sand with (inoculated) and …

Rhizosphere microbial communities adapt their structural and functional compositions to
water scarcity and have the potential to substantially mitigate drought stress of crops. To …
