Abstract
The rhizosphere of plant species is an inimitable ecosystem that harbors an extensive range of microbes. Research in the wide areas of rhizosphere biotechnology highlighting new bioinoculants has received ample attention during recent past, and suitable expertises have been developed. However, the global recognition of such technologies by farmers is still overwhelmed with doubts owing to limited shelf-life and efficiency of the products which demonstrate discrepancies. This review illustrates plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria with detailed emphasis on nutrient acquisition and potential roles in conferring tolerance against abiotic stresses. The review demonstrates the recent research in the field of genomic and proteomic analysis, where systematic characterization of potentially effective rhizobacteria is being carried out by screening the extensive bacterial gene pool based on modern molecular tools. The review concludes by emphasizing the efforts made in the proteomics field which could compensate for understanding of prompt evolution in microbe-derived and plant-derived protein and metabolite substitute that activates vulnerability or resistance.
