Plant-microbe Interactions

Plant-microbe interactions refer to the beneficial relationship between plants and beneficial microbes such as bacteria and fungi. These interactions are important for the health and productivity of plants, as the microbes provide beneficial services such as promoting nutrient uptake, aiding in resistance to abiotic and biotic stressors, and improving drought tolerance. Therefore, these interactions are a key part of sustainable agricultural practices and can help to increase crop yields and reduce the need for chemical fertilizers. Furthermore, plant-microbe interactions help to increase the stability and fertility of soil, thereby promoting long-term sustainability of agricultural ecosystems.
