Plant Microbiome Engineering to Improve Plant Growth Promotion and Biocontrol
摘要
Root-associated microbiomes (RAMs) have a substantial effect on plant growth and defense systems. RAMs connect with roots to promote plant development and yield, retain root architecture, protect plants from infections, biotic and abiotic stresses, and enhance nutrient absorption. The rhizosphere is home to a diverse spectrum of microbial populations. Microbiome engineering is a powerful tool for promoting plant development and supporting biocontrol systems by fortifying plants with advantageous microorganisms and suppressing the growth of pathogens. Employing rhizosphere engineering measures to encourage the formation of beneficial microbial communities while minimizing detrimental counterparts addresses the current need in a sustainable manner. The ultimate goal is to create edaphic conditions that promote healthy plant development. Microbiome engineering has potential as a long-term agricultural strategy that promotes reliable plant-microbe connections for higher crop productivity and disease resistance.
