“…Several other strategies are incorporated to develop climate resilient/smart crop including SNP genotype, trait mapping and plant breeding methods. Besides this, the role of bioinformatics tools has also been enunciated to tackle stress responses in changing climatic conditions (Laha et al, 2020). The CRISPR/Cas technology has been efficiently used in enhancing productivity in rice crop in fluctuating climatic conditions (Biswal et al, 2019).…”

Plant mutualistic association with various beneficial microbes is referred to as the plant enhancer microbiome. These microbes are found either in episphere or endosphere of the plant tissues. Several pieces of evidence have highlighted that plant microbiomes and soil play a pivotal role in making soil nutrient balance which is readily available to plants and provide strength under various stresses. Recently different technologies relevant to plant microbiome and diversity such as sequencing technologies, metagenomics, and bioinformatics have been utilized. Knowledge about factors that shape the composition of plant microbes is still less explored. Here, current insights into the issues driving the above/below plant microbial diversities are explored. Primarily, we address the distribution of microbial communities above and below ground across plant habitats that has benefitted plants. Microbial communities are efficient regulators of biogeochemical cycle which is a better approach to mitigate changing climatic patterns aids in proper utilization of greenhouse gases for their metabolic mechanisms. The present review is thereby significant for assessing microbiome mitigation toward climate change and multiple avenues of plant- microbe interaction under commuting climatic scenario. Finally, we summarize factors that promote the structure and composition of the plant microbiome.

Plants are extensively well-thought-out as the main source for nourishing natural life on earth. In the natural environment, plants have to face several stresses, mainly heat stress (HS), chilling stress (CS) and freezing stress (FS) due to adverse climate fluctuations. These stresses are considered as a major threat for sustainable agriculture by hindering plant growth and development, causing damage, ultimately leading to yield losses worldwide and counteracting to achieve the goal of "zero hunger" proposed by the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) of the United Nations. Notably, this is primarily because of the numerous inequities happening at the cellular, molecular and/or physiological levels, especially during plant developmental stages under temperature stress. Plants counter to temperature stress via a complex phenomenon including variations at different developmental stages that comprise modifications in physiological and biochemical processes, gene expression and differences in the levels of metabolites and proteins. During the last decade, omics approaches have revolutionized how plant biologists explore stress-responsive mechanisms and pathways, driven by current scientific developments. However, investigations are still required to explore numerous features of temperature stress responses in plants to create a complete idea in the arena of stress signaling. Therefore, this review highlights the recent advances in the utilization of omics approaches to understand stress adaptation and tolerance mechanisms. Additionally, how to overcome persisting knowledge gaps. Shortly, the combination of integrated omics, genome editing, and speed breeding can revolutionize modern agricultural production to feed millions worldwide in order to accomplish the goal of "zero hunger."

The present day’s ongoing global warming and climate change adversely affect plants through imposing environmental (abiotic) stresses and disease pressure. The major abiotic factors such as drought, heat, cold, salinity, etc., hamper a plant’s innate growth and development, resulting in reduced yield and quality, with the possibility of undesired traits. In the 21st century, the advent of high-throughput sequencing tools, state-of-the-art biotechnological techniques and bioinformatic analyzing pipelines led to the easy characterization of plant traits for abiotic stress response and tolerance mechanisms by applying the ‘omics’ toolbox. Panomics pipeline including genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, epigenomics, proteogenomics, interactomics, ionomics, phenomics, etc., have become very handy nowadays. This is important to produce climate-smart future crops with a proper understanding of the molecular mechanisms of abiotic stress responses by the plant’s genes, transcripts, proteins, epigenome, cellular metabolic circuits and resultant phenotype. Instead of mono-omics, two or more (hence ‘multi-omics’) integrated-omics approaches can decipher the plant’s abiotic stress tolerance response very well. Multi-omics-characterized plants can be used as potent genetic resources to incorporate into the future breeding program. For the practical utility of crop improvement, multi-omics approaches for particular abiotic stress tolerance can be combined with genome-assisted breeding (GAB) by being pyramided with improved crop yield, food quality and associated agronomic traits and can open a new era of omics-assisted breeding. Thus, multi-omics pipelines together are able to decipher molecular processes, biomarkers, targets for genetic engineering, regulatory networks and precision agriculture solutions for a crop’s variable abiotic stress tolerance to ensure food security under changing environmental circumstances.
