The loss of agro-biodiversity, climate changes and food insecurity are major challenges in
the Mediterranean countries with potentially multidimensional consequences. With respect …

Microbial communities associated with the rhizosphere and roots of desert halophytes play
an important role in plants' growth and development. Very limited information has been …

Halophytic endophytes potentially contribute to the host's adaptation to adverse
environments, improving its tolerance against various biotic and abiotic stresses. Here, we …

The root microbiota is crucial for plant productivity and stress tolerance. Still, our
understanding of the factors that structure these microbial communities is limited, and we …
