“…Soil is incorporating 6,000 billion tons of carbon approximately and acts as natural reservoirs of biogeochemical carbon cycle. More carbon is getting emitted into the atmosphere due to industrial development (Cristea et al, 2020). Microorganisms can sequester carbon into the soils and is sustainable method to lowering atmospheric carbon.…”

The above ground growth of the plant is highly dependent on the belowground root system. Rhizosphere is the zone of continuous interplay between plant roots and soil microbial communities. Plants, through root exudates, attract rhizosphere microorganisms to colonize the root surface and internal tissues. Many of these microorganisms known as plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) improve plant growth through several direct and indirect mechanisms including biological nitrogen fixation, nutrient solubilization, and disease-control. Many PGPR, by producing phytohormones, volatile organic compounds, and secondary metabolites play important role in influencing the root architecture and growth, resulting in increased surface area for nutrient exchange and other rhizosphere effects. PGPR also improve resource use efficiency of the root system by improving the root system functioning at physiological levels. PGPR mediated root trait alterations can contribute to agroecosystem through improving crop stand, resource use efficiency, stress tolerance, soil structure etc. Thus, PGPR capable of modulating root traits can play important role in agricultural sustainability and root traits can be used as a primary criterion for the selection of potential PGPR strains. Available PGPR studies emphasize root morphological and physiological traits to assess the effect of PGPR. However, these traits can be influenced by various external factors and may give varying results. Therefore, it is important to understand the pathways and genes involved in plant root traits and the microbial signals/metabolites that can intercept and/or intersect these pathways for modulating root traits. The use of advanced tools and technologies can help to decipher the mechanisms involved in PGPR mediated determinants affecting the root traits. Further identification of PGPR based determinants/signaling molecules capable of regulating root trait genes and pathways can open up new avenues in PGPR research. The present review updates recent knowledge on the PGPR influence on root architecture and root functional traits and its benefits to the agro-ecosystem. Efforts have been made to understand the bacterial signals/determinants that can play regulatory role in the expression of root traits and their prospects in sustainable agriculture. The review will be helpful in providing future directions to the researchers working on PGPR and root system functioning.
