This review presents a comprehensive and systematic study of the field of bacterial plant
biostimulants and considers the fundamental and innovative principles underlying this …

Microbes of the phytomicrobiome are associated with every plant tissue and, in combination
with the plant form the holobiont. Plants regulate the composition and activity of their …

The genus Bacillus is one of the predominant bacterial genera found in soil, and several
species of this genus have been reported from diverse ecological niches. Endowed with …

The rhizosphere is a thin film of soil that surrounds plant roots and the primary location of
nutrient uptake, and is where important physiological, chemical, and biological activities are …

At different stages throughout their life cycle, plants often encounter several pathogenic
microbes that challenge plant growth and development. The sophisticated innate plant …

Crop productivity is affected by environmental and genetic factors. Microbes that are
beneficial to plants are used to enhance the crop yield and are alternatives to chemical …

Plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) enhance plant growth, as well as protect plants
from several biotic and abiotic stresses through a variety of mechanisms. Therefore, the …

Biotic stresses significantly threaten worldwide crop production and food security. Rapid,
drastic changes in global climate have exacerbated such stresses for crops. Plant diseases …

Bacterial endophytes constitute an essential part of the plant microbiome and are described
to promote plant health by different mechanisms. The close interaction with the host leads to …

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 …
