Rhizosheric bacteria with several abilities related to plant growth and health have been
denominated Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR). PGPR promote plant growth …

Abiotic stresses, such as drought, salinity, heavy metals, variations in temperature, and
ultraviolet (UV) radiation, are antagonistic to plant growth and development, resulting in an …

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 …

Intercropping is an adapted farming system to optimize resource-use efficiency and crop
yield, particularly in low input agricultural systems. Due to the beneficial eco-agricultural …

The well-being of the microbial community that densely populates the rhizosphere is aided
by a plant's root exudates. Maintaining a plant's health is a key factor in its continued …

Salinity affects plant growth and is a major abiotic stress that limits crop productivity. It is well-
understood that environmental adaptations and genetic traits regulate salinity tolerance in …

Plant-derived protein hydrolysates (PHs) have gained prominence as plant biostimulants
because of their potential to increase the germination, productivity and quality of a wide …

The rhizosphere is a microhabitat where there is an intense chemical dialogue between
plants and microorganisms. The two coexist and develop synergistic actions, which can …

During the last decades, research on the function of volatile organic compounds focused
primarily on the interactions between plants and insects. However, microorganisms can also …

Soil enzymes are crucial in mediating ecosystems' responses to environmental drivers, so
that the comprehension of their sensitivity to drivers of global change can help make …
