Over the past decades, rapid industrialization along with the overutilization of organic
pollutants/pesticides has altered the environmental circumstances. Moreover, various …

The rhizosphere and phyllosphere are the below-and above-ground microbial ecosystems
of plants. Interactions between the rhizosphere and phyllosphere shape the plant …

Various microorganisms colonize plant tissues either through epiphytic (surface), endophytic
(inside), or rhizospheric association. The diverse phyllosphere microbiomes interact with …

Herbicides play a crucial role in managing weeds in agriculture, ensuring the productivity
and quality of crops. However, herbicide drift poses a significant threat to sensitive plants …

Microbes and their products play key roles in complementing chemical fertilizers and plant
protection chemicals by eliciting defence mechanisms in crop plants, thereby providing …

Filamentous plant pathogens, including fungi and oomycetes, pose significant threats to
cultivated crops, impacting agricultural productivity, quality and sustainability. Traditionally …

Biofilms are microbial communities nested in self-secreted extracellular polymeric
substances that can provide microorganisms with strong tolerance and a favorable living …

Cyanobacterial biofertilizers enhance plant and soil productivity across crops, through soil-
seed application at the field level; however, their use as foliar treatment is less investigated …

Blast disease caused by the fungal pathogen Pyricularia oryzae is a serious disease
affecting rice. The purpose of this study was to isolate, characterize, and identify chitinase …
