Soil salinization is an essential environmental stressor, threatening agricultural yield and
ecological security worldwide. Saline soils accumulate excessive soluble salts which are …

The contamination of soil with organic pollutants has been accelerated by agricultural and
industrial development and poses a major threat to global ecosystems and human health …

Plants can achieve their proper growth and development with the help of microorganisms
associated with them. Plant-associated microbes convert the unavailable nutrients to …

Cover crops (CCs) are a promising and sustainable agronomic practice to ameliorate soil
health and crop performances. However, the complex of relationships between CCs, the …

Background The rhizosphere microbiome, which is shaped by host genotypes, root
exudates, and plant domestication, is crucial for sustaining agricultural plant growth. Despite …

Root exudates are an essential carrier for material cycling, energy exchange, and
information transfer between the belowground parts of plants and the soil. We synthesize …

Elucidating complex interactions between bacteria and fungi that determine microbial
community structure, composition, and functions in soil, as well as regulate carbon (C) and …

The ubiquitous presence of microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) in the environment
is an undeniable and serious concern due to their higher persistence and extensive use in …

The root microbiome refers to the community of microbes living in association with a plant's
roots, and includes mutualists, pathogens, and commensals. Here we focus on recent …

Plant root exudates serve pivotal roles in supporting plant development and interactions with
the physicochemical and biological factors in the rhizosphere. Under stress conditions, root …
