Microbial Symbionts and Plant Health: Trends and Applications for Changing Climate

Abstract

Plant growth-promoting microorganisms (PGPM) and endophytes are naturally plant-inhabiting microbial species that contribute as a resource for innumerable metabolites, agriculturally important promoters, and stress-adaptive molecules in their host plants and confer benefits to their hosts with respect to growth enhancement, a surge of metabolic competences, and conferring stress resistance. However, the interaction between the symbionts is a complex phenomenon. It is imperative to explore the host–microbial crosstalk at the root–surface and internal plant tissues to identify the cellular and molecular aspects of the alliance. This chapter focuses on the critical evaluation of the colonization and multifaceted interactions of PGPM and endophytes in the host, their impacts on the health management of plants, crop productivity, multistress tolerance, and production of agriculturally and biotechnologically important metabolites. Given that the literature is replete with various information regarding the beneficial roles of PGPMs and endophytes in plant health, the possibilities of commercialization of PGPMs in sustainable agriculture are critically apprised in this synthesis.
