Plant growth performance under a stressful environment, notably in the agriculture field, is
directly correlated with the rapid growth of the human population, which triggers the …

Increasing crop productivity to feed a growing population, while conserving the natural
resources, is one of the humanity's major challenges that needs to be overcome. To achieve …

Heavy metal pollution of agricultural soils is one of main concerns causing some of the
different ecological and environmental problems. Excess accumulation of these metals in …

Heavy metals bring long-term hazardous consequences and pose a serious threat to all life
forms. Being non-biodegradable, they can remain in the food webs for a long period of time …

Abiotic stresses are the most significant factors reducing agricultural productivity. Plants face
extreme environmental conditions that may affect their biological mechanisms, thereby …

Interaction among plant nutrients can yield antagonistic or synergistic outcomes that
influence nutrient use efficiency. To provide insight on this phenomenon, peer-reviewed …

Abiotic stress poses a severe danger to agriculture since it negatively impacts cellular
homeostasis and eventually stunts plant growth and development. Abiotic stressors like …

Siderophores are synthesized and secreted by many bacteria, yeasts, fungi, and plants for
Fe (III) chelation. A variety of plant-growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) colonize the …

Bacteria that colonize plant roots and promote plant growth are referred to as plant growth-
promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR). PGPR are highly diverse and in this review we focus on …

Microbes are capable of colonizing the rhizosphere and phyllosphere as well as living
inside the plant tissues as endophytes. The microbiomes associated with the crops have the …
