Globally, agriculture is under a lot of pressure due to rising population and corresponding
increases in food demand. However, several variables, including improper mechanization …

Crop productivity is affected by environmental and genetic factors. Microbes that are
beneficial to plants are used to enhance the crop yield and are alternatives to chemical …

Plant roots support complex microbial communities that can influence plant growth, nutrition,
and health. While extensive characterizations of the composition and spatial …

Plant growth‐promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) can help plants to resist drought stress.
However, the mechanisms of how PGPR inoculation affect plant status under drought …

Climate change is emerging as a crucial issue with global attention and leading to abiotic
stress conditions. There are different abiotic stress which affects the crop production among …

Soil consists of diverse microscopic life forms such as actinomycetes, algae, bacteria, fungi,
nematodes, and protozoans. But, the rhizospheric region is the most widely colonized …

Drought is one of the major abiotic stresses accepted as the main constraint for loss of the
crop yield worldwide. Further, problems are created by nutrient limitations particularly low …

Microbial inoculation in drought challenged rice triggered multipronged steps at enzymatic,
non-enzymatic and gene expression level. These multifarious modulations in plants were …

Increased severity of droughts, due to anthropogenic activities and global warming, has
