“…Furthermore, warmer temperatures combined with drought or extreme precipitation is also projected to increase incidence of fungal infection further reducing yield quantity and quality (Sharma 2014). Consequently, future production of crops will be challenged by intensified abiotic stresses as well as biotic stresses (Jangra et al 2017;Vaughan et al 2018;Laloum et al 2018).…”

S TRESSED environments have long been a question of great interest in a wide range of fields. So, many considerable literatures have grown up around this theme. In Egypt, there are several common problems related to the stressed environments. These stresses include decline of soil fertility, soil salinity and alkalinity, soil water logging, salt-affected soils, soil pollution, climate change, overpopulation growth, urban sprawl, land degradation, deterioration of natural resources, etc. More generally, national income will decline and will in turn result in the spread of social and political problems. Kafr El-Sheikh governorate can be considered one of the most important areas in Egypt, which calls "the governorate of the hope and the future" due to its location and wealths. Whereas, this governorate suffers from the most common stresses in Egypt including pollution, salinity, alkalinity and waterlogging. Great problems have been recorded in Kafr El-Sheikh related to stressed environments and suggested solutions also have been addressed. Therefore, a sustainable management should be adapted for overcoming these stressed environments in Kafr El-Sheikh.

“…In this context, plant-based manipulation strategies focused on advanced molecular biology techniques, biochemical approaches, mutagenesis, selection, and breeding of crop varieties have significantly unraveled the plant system against various environmental changes (Table 3). Furthermore, the continued success of renowned Green Revolution can be achieved by high-throughput transcription profiling, identification of specific protein network on large scale, molecular modeling and their association with environmental changes for improved agricultural traits and increased yields (Mahfouz et al, 2016;Jangra et al, 2017).…”

Engineering Host Microbiome for Crop Improvement and Sustainable Agriculture

Dynamic consortium of microbial communities (bacteria, fungi, protists, viruses, and nematodes) colonizing multiple tissue types and coevolving conclusively with the host plant is designated as a plant microbiome. The interplay between plant and its microbial mutualists supports several agronomic functions, establishing its crucial role in plant beneficial activities. Deeper functional and mechanistic understanding of plant-microbial ecosystems will render many “ecosystem services” by emulating symbiotic interactions between plants, soil, and microbes for enhanced productivity and sustainability. Therefore, microbiome engineering represents an emerging biotechnological tool to directly add, remove, or modify properties of microbial communities for higher specificity and efficacy. The main goal of microbiome engineering is enhancement of plant functions such as biotic/abiotic stresses, plant fitness and productivities, etc. Various ecological-, biochemical-, and molecular-based approaches have come up as a new paradigm for disentangling many microbiome-based agromanagement hurdles. Furthermore, multidisciplinary approaches provide a predictive framework in achieving a reliable and sustainably engineered plant-microbiome for stress physiology, nutrient recycling, and high-yielding disease-resistant genotypes.

“…Overall, the susceptibility or tolerance to high salinity stress in plants is a coordinated action of multiple stress responsive genes, which also cross-talk with other components of stress signal transduction pathways. The complexity and polygenic nature of salt stress are important factors contributing to the difficulties in breeding salt-tolerant crop varieties (Zhu, 2000;Flowers, 2004;Jangra et al, 2017). Understanding these mechanisms of stress tolerance along with a plethora of genes involved in stress signaling network is important to improve high salinity stress tolerance in crops plants.…”
