Engineering the Plant Microbiome for Biotic Stress Tolerance: Biotechnological Advances

The transformation of rhizosphere microbiota is essentially the result of a series of events that can enhance the formation of constant and different microbial associations in the plant microbiome/holobiome based on supportive information/communications. Beneficial microbial communities act as influential identities for the elevation of ecological stresses in plants and ultimately decrease the usage of fertilizer and pesticides in order to increase the crop yield. Microbiome has the capability to stimulate the growth of plants, develop resistance to stress, and enhance the health of plants. To accomplish these objectives, it is essential to learn more about the relationship between plant, microbiome, microbial community present in soil, and their resilience to environmental changes. The information acquired will help in understanding the effect of these microorganisms on the biotic resistance, biogeochemical cycles, and productivity of the crops. A comprehensive understanding of the biological mechanisms underlying stress-induced microbiome modifications would also allow for the development of personalized DefenseBiomes and chemicals in order to combat with crop stresses.
