Both biotic and abiotic stresses are major constrains to agricultural production. Under stress
conditions, plant growth is affected by a number of factors such as hormonal and nutritional …

Microbes colonizing the inner part of plants, viz., root, stem, or seeds, are referred to as
endophytes. Diverse groups of microbes (archaea, bacteria, and eukarya) have been …

Root‐secreted chemicals mediate multi‐partite interactions in the rhizosphere, where plant
roots continually respond to and alter their immediate environment. Increasing evidence …

Every organism on earth relies on associations with its neighbors to sustain life. For
example, plants form associations with neighboring plants, microflora, and microfauna, while …

The goal of microbiome engineering is to manipulate the microbiome toward a certain type
of community that will optimize plant functions of interest. For instance, in crop production the …

Rhizoremediation is a bioremediation technique whereby enhanced microbial degradation
of organic contaminants occurs within the plant root zone (rhizosphere). It is considered an …

Microorganism-assisted phytoremediation is being developed as an efficient green
approach for management of toxic metals contaminated soils and mitigating the potential …

Root exudates have a key role in communication between plants and microbes in the
rhizosphere. Fusarium wilt of watermelon, caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. niveum …

Rhizoremediation is a bioremediation technique whereby microbial degradation of organic
contaminants occurs in the rhizosphere. It is considered to be an effective and affordable …

Root exudates influence the surrounding soil microbial community, and recent evidence
demonstrates the involvement of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters in root secretion …
