Does plant-Microbe interaction confer stress tolerance in plants: A review?

TL;DR: Indigenous microorganisms may be a promising biological technology to improve plant performance and development and to alleviate salt stress damage.

TL;DR: In this paper , the root exudates of E+ (E. gansuensis infected) and E− (Egansusius uninfected) plants were investigated.

TL;DR: In this article , the role of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria and sowing methods on physicochemical properties, nutrients and heavy metals content of rhizosphere soil and their translocation to plant was evaluated.

TL;DR: The endophytic Bacillus safensis Ni7 exhibits drought stress protective functioning through various mechanisms including biofilm production, aggregation and clumping, increased production of surfactin homologues and modulation of plant growth promoting genes. Its genome sequencing and bioinformatics analysis revealed the presence of genes responsible for stress response, biofilm production, chemotaxis, flagella synthesis, catalase, superoxide dismutase and osmoprotectants production. The variation in gene content among different strains of B. safensis observed in this study highlights its genomic basis for plant growth and drought protection.

TL;DR: The effects of drought stress on the growth, phenology, water and nutrient relations, photosynthesis, assimilate partitioning, and respiration in plants, and the mechanism of drought resistance in plants on a morphological, physiological and molecular basis are reviewed.

TL;DR: An overview of ROS homeostasis and signalling in response to drought and salt stresses is provided and the current understanding of ROS involvement in stress sensing, stress signalling and regulation of acclimation responses is discussed.

TL;DR: The available evidence suggests that unsustainable consumption of groundwater for irrigation and other anthropogenic uses is likely to be the cause of groundwater depletion in northwest India and the consequences for the 114,000,000 residents of the region may include a reduction of agricultural output and shortages of potable water, leading to extensive socioeconomic stresses.

TL;DR: As agricultural production intensified over the past few decades, producers became more and more dependent on agrochemicals as a relatively reliable method of crop production.
