Soil salinity is one of the most important abiotic factors that affects agricultural production
worldwide. Because of saline stress, plants face physiological changes that have negative …

In most ecosystems, plants establish complex symbiotic relationships with organisms, such
as bacteria and fungi, which significantly influence their health by promoting or inhibiting …

Rice, which feeds more than half of the world's population, confronts significant challenges
due to environmental and climatic changes. Abiotic stressors such as extreme temperatures …

The synthetic polymer Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is known for its water solubility, non-toxicity,
biodegradability, and high biocompatibility with cells. These characteristics make it a …

Zinc (Zn) is essential for plant development and its deficiency can reduce agricultural
productivity. Nutrient-solubilizing microorganisms offer a promising solution to enhance the …

Synthetic microbial communities, which simplify the complexity of natural ecosystems while
retaining their key features, are gaining momentum in engineering and biotechnology …

Plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) are considered a promising tool for triggering the
synthesis of bioactive compounds in plants and to produce healthy foods. This study aimed …

Bioinoculants traditionally rely on selecting efficient microbes from the soil with potential
growth-enhancing traits for plants. However, such approaches often neglect microbe …

Cotton production is negatively affected by both biotic (diseases and insects) and abiotic
(high temperature, salinity, water deficit, and extreme pH) factors. Soil-borne diseases …

Land productivity in arid and hot climate regions is constrained by water scarcity due to low
rainfall and organic matter, which limit both soil-water retention and crop yields. Main …
