Rhizosphere Biology: Interactions Between Microbes and Plants

Part of the book series: Rhizosphere Biology ((RHBIO))

Abstract

Rhizosphere microbiomes and plant-microbiome interactions govern many key biogeochemical processes important for plant nutrition and their ability to tolerate biotic and abiotic stresses. Several studies suggest interactions of microbes with crop plants play a prominent role in adaptation, maintenance, and survival of both the partners as well as for soil health in a number of abiotic stresses such as drought, salinity, heavy metal contamination, etc., by regulating changes in terms of biochemical, physiological, and molecular processes of plants. The strain specificity plays crucial role in exploiting characteristic potential of candidate microbe to provide tolerance and alleviate negative impact of abiotic stresses in plants. During stress management, plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPB) have been shown to activate plant antioxidant defense machinery by regulating the activity of scavenging key enzymes to level over produced reactive oxygen species (ROS) and by regulating the amounts of proteins, polysaccharides, and important phytohormones. Many Rhizobacteria have also been shown to produce ACC deaminase enzyme initiating a cascade of physiological and biochemical changes in the plant thereby helping them withstand effects of abiotic stresses. Some of the examples for such PGPB include Azospirillum, Azotobacter, Bacillus, Bradyrhizobium, Burkholderia, Enterobacter, Pseudomonas, Rhizobium, Methylobacterium, and Variovorax. In view of the projections from climate-smart agriculture research, predictions for reduced rainfall and increased effects of other abiotic stresses such as salinity across many agricultural regions worldwide are being calculated, exploitation of the beneficial plant–microbe interactions to alleviate abiotic stress effects in crops should be one of the key approaches to improving global food production.
