“…Mitigation of salinity stress in Vigna radiata was witnessed when Anand et al (2021) attempted to adapt the rhizospheric microbiome of the host plant, to salt stress via host‐mediated artificial selection by multiple rounds of plant growth under selection pressure (salinity). The analysis of salt stress tolerance, conferred by the adapted microbial community, was performed by assessing parameters including plant biometrics, stress markers, and bacterial diversity (Anand et al, 2021, Dubey et al, 2022). Similarly, the multi‐passaging approach of rhizospheric engineering was successfully coupled with the ramping‐up of salinity stress, and implemented for nine plant growth cycles, in Brachypodium distachyon , which resulted in salinity stress tolerance in plants after as early as 1–3 passaging cycles (Mueller et al, 2021).…”
