Tomorrow's agriculture, challenged by increasing global demand for food, scarcity of arable
lands, and resources alongside multiple environment pressures, needs to be managed …

Although research on plant growth promoting bacteria began in the 1950s, basic and
applied research on bacteria improving use of phosphorus (P) continues to be a priority …

Bidirectional root–shoot signalling is probably key in orchestrating stress responses and
ensuring plant survival. Here, we show that Arabidopsis thaliana responses to microbial root …

Plants grown in natural soil are colonized by phylogenetically structured communities of
microbes known as the microbiota. Individual microbes can activate microbe-associated …

Soil salinization adversely affects plant growth and has become one of the major limiting
factors for crop productivity worldwide. The conventional approach, breeding salt-tolerant …

Background Plants and their associated microbiota constitute an assemblage of species
known as holobionts. The plant seed microbiome plays an important role in nutrient uptake …

Highlights•An overview of the recent progresses in rhizosphere interaction networks,
especially of the crops was provided.•The unprecedented holistic view of the root-soil …

Microorganisms associated with roots are thought to be part of the so-called extended plant
phenotypes with roles in the acquisition of nutrients, production of growth hormones, and …

Phosphate starvation response (PSR) in nonmycorrhizal plants comprises transcriptional
reprogramming resulting in severe physiological changes to the roots and shoots and …

Bacterial communities in soil play a key role in carbon (C) and nutrient cycling. Unravelling
how bacterial community assemble and distribute with soil depth is a prerequisite for …
