Plant Microbiomes with Phytohormones: Attribute for Plant Growth and Adaptation Under the Stress Conditions

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Advances in Plant Microbiome and Sustainable Agriculture

Part of the book series: Microorganisms for Sustainability ((MICRO,volume 20))

Abstract

Plant microbiomes are the group of microbes residing in/on the plant under symbiotic relation. In such symbiotic relation, microbes get nutrient and residence from host plant; at the same time, plants are able to get insoluble and unavailable nutrients by the help of such microbes. Such plant-associated microbes are also able to produce plant hormones important for the growth and development of plants. Plant hormones are an important biomolecules responsible for the potential of the plant to survive in changing environment by regulating all the metabolic as well as physiological activity. Microbiomes associated with plants also have the ability to modulate the phytohormone level in the host plant to help the host plant survive under biotic and abiotic stress. Different stresses are the major cause of crop loss worldwide. To meet the food needs of the world’s growing population, preventing crop losses due to stress and producing more foods are demands of hour. Plant microbiomes are therefore one of the best environmentally friendly options for increasing food production and developing tolerance/resistance against various stresses.
