Abstract

The principal factors involved in the creation of abiotic stresses are the adverse climatic conditions. These have led to a decline in the agricultural production. Dominant abiotic stresses include drought, salinity, low/high temperature, acidic conditions, flooding, light intensity, anaerobiosis, and nutrient starvation. Climate change is responsible for temperature, water deficiency, salinity, and heavy metal pollution relation stresses. The abiotic stress factors influence the biotic stress and eventually reduce crop productivity. The major effect of these stresses results in the loss of soil microbial diversity, fertility of soil, and competition for nutrient resources. The soil microflora have the ability to counter the abiotic stresses due to their metabolic abilities. Their interactions with plants help in modulating the mechanisms in the plants for their defense against the adversity. This is plant-associated microbial community, the best alternative, helps the plants’s growth and development under different types of abiotic and biotic stresses. This chapter gives an overview of the stress conditions and the mechanisms of overcoming these conditions with an insight on the role of fungi associated with plants, in the alleviation of adverse conditions.
