Abstract

The Holobiont is the overall plant biochemistry that involves plant kingdom along with microbial world of bacteria and viruses interactive with plant world. The microbiome is the large Holobiont that gives plant health and stability as the microbes in its Holobiont provide resistance to abiotic and biotic stress and also to antibiotics and drugs apart from being part of plant nutrition and nutrient uptake. By understanding the plant and its microbiome, the application and modifications in the application can be studied.
