Decoupling Community Complexity From Efficacy: A Meta-Analysis of Synthetic Microbial Communities for Plant Stress Resilience.
Drought, salinity, pollution and nutrient deficiency substantially impair plant growth by disrupting water balance, ion homoeostasis, redox regulation and metabolism. Synthetic microbial communities (SynComs) represent a frontier in microbiome engineering, theoretically offering superior stability over single-strain in...
