Augmenting abiotic stress tolerance and root architecture: The function of phytohormone-producing PGPR and their interaction with nanoparticles

Editorial for “Special Abilities of Microbes and Their Application in Agro-Biology”

“…Microbes thriving in various environments are adapted and equipped with unique physiological and metabolic functionalities, which, upon their harnessing, could be useful for sustainable agricultural practices [ 3 ]. For instance, psychrophiles possessing plant growth-promoting traits could be useful for promoting soil fertility and crop production in geographically colder regions [ 4 ]. Similarly, thermophiles can be employed in a comparative tropical region where draught and soil–water stress are evident [ 5 ].…”
