Abstract
Plants contain associated microbiomes, which facilitate the plant’s productivity by supporting their healthy growth in native niche. Globally, sustainable food production is quintessential, wherein the growth-promoting abilities of plant-associated microbes become vital. Recent literatures reveal significant structure and dynamics on plant microbiome, which recognizes the regulation of plant fitness by native microbiome. Henceforth, it is essential to practice modern microbial developments for strengthening crop production. Many of the environmental factors modulate the microbiome organization. This chapter emphasizes the comprehensive characterization of different niche’s microbiome and impact of differential influential factors such as genotype, microbial interactions, agricultural habits, bioinoculants, and abiotic factors to microbial diversity and sustainable plant health. Moreover, conventional and advanced approaches (omics/multi-omics) for studying plant microbiome diversity and plant microbiome interactions are also discussed, which would be helpful in developing novel microbial formulations for sustainable agriculture.
