Drought and salinity are among the most important environmental factors that hampered
agricultural productivity worldwide. Both stresses can induce several morphological …

The microbiome shapes many host traits, yet the biology of microbiomes challenges
traditional evolutionary models. Here, we illustrate how integrating the microbiome into …

Abiotic stresses hamper plant growth and productivity. Climate change and agricultural
malpractices like excessive use of fertilizers and pesticides have aggravated the effects of …

Fungi are an understudied, biotechnologically valuable group of organisms. Due to the
immense range of habitats that fungi inhabit, and the consequent need to compete against a …

Endophytic fungi (EF) are a group of fascinating host-associated fungal communities that
colonize the intercellular or intracellular spaces of host tissues, providing beneficial effects to …

Abiotic stresses, such as drought, salinity, heavy metals, variations in temperature, and
ultraviolet (UV) radiation, are antagonistic to plant growth and development, resulting in an …

Climate change is pushing species outside of their evolved tolerances. Plant populations
must acclimate, adapt, or migrate to avoid extinction. However, because plants associate …

Feeding a growing world population amidst climate change requires optimizing the
reliability, resource use, and environmental impacts of food production. One way to assist in …

Endophytes are micro‐organisms including bacteria and fungi that survive within healthy
plant tissues and promote plant growth under stress. This review focuses on the potential of …

Salinity is a major abiotic stress threatening crop production. Root-derived bacteria (RDB)
are hypothesized to play a role in enhancing plant adaptability to various stresses. However …
