Keywords: Microbiota, Abiotic stress, Biotic stress, PGPR, Sustainable agriculture, Climate change


Abstract


Plant-microbial interactions are very crucial for the terrestrial ecosystem. These interactions occur through different signalling pathways at the Rhizospheric, Phyllospheric, and Endospheric regions. They are pivotal in strengthening the plant defence mechanism against biotic and abiotic stresses. A better knowledge of these relationships will help to develop novel solutions for sustainable agriculture and safeguarding the global food supply in the context of climate change and mounting environmental concerns. This review article emphasises the role of the microbiome in providing resistance to plants against various environmental stresses and aiding in their improved adaptation under changing climatic scenarios.
