New eco-friendly approaches are required to improve plant biomass production. Beneficial
plant growth-promoting (PGP) bacteria may be exploited as excellent and efficient …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) establish symbiotic associations with most terrestrial
plants. These soil microorganisms enhance the plant's nutrient uptake by extending the root …

Environmental (abiotic) stresses significantly threaten the worldwide crop production and
food security. Rapid, drastic changes in the global climate have exacerbated such stresses …

Soil salinity has emerged as a serious issue for global food security. It is estimated that
currently about 62 million hectares or 20 percent of the world's irrigated land is affected by …

Plant-associated microorganisms play an important role in agricultural production. Although
various studies have shown that single microorganisms can exert beneficial effects on …

Environmental stress is a major challenge for sustainable food production as it reduces yield
by generating reactive oxygen species (ROS) which pose a threat to cell organelles and …

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

Microbial consortium inoculation has been proposed as a natural-based strategy to
safeguard multiple ecosystem services. Still, its observed effects and comparisons to single …

Plants are subjected to various abiotic stresses, such as drought, extreme temperature,
salinity, and heavy metals. Abiotic stresses have negative impact on the physiology and …

Due to increasingly limited water resources, diminishing farmland acreage, and potentially
negative effects of climate change, an urgent need exists to improve agricultural productivity …
