Heavy Metal(loid) Stress-alleviating and Phytostimulating Microorganisms: Dual-performing Warhorses in Soil-bioremediation

The omnipresence of diverse microorganisms in the environment is valuable in many ways. Their presence in the vicinity of plants benefits as a result of positive plant-microbe interaction. Phytostimulating microorganisms or plant growth-promoting microorganisms (PGPMs) are a certain group of microbes that includes rhizobacteria, endophytes, actinomycetes, fungi, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, etc. They are colonized in different parts of plants (as endophytes) or the close contact outside the plants’ root-surface (rhizosphere and rhizoplane) attracted by certain plant exudates or secondary metabolites for nutrition. In return, PGPMs directly or indirectly assist their host plants by secreting plant growth-promoting substances, increase nutrient bioavailability of insoluble or less-soluble compounds in soils, and also confronts invading phytopathogens. A major group of these microorganisms takes an active part in soil metal bioremediation, an essential concern in the current scenario for the reclamation of metal-contaminated agricultural fields.

Unravelling Plant-Microbe Synergy

Unravelling Plant-Microbe Synergy focuses on agriculturally important microorganisms (AIM's) that are indigenous to soil and roots of the plant. These microbes contributing to nutrient balance, growth regulators, suppressing pathogens, alleviate stress response, orchestrating immune response and improving crop performance as they are offering sustainable and alternative solutions to the use of chemicals in agriculture. As plant microbe synergy is an enthralling subject, is multidisciplinary in nature, and concerns scientists involved in applied, and environmental microbiology and plant health and plant protection, Unravelling Plant-Microbe Synergy is an ideal resource that emphasizes the cur...
