Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus as a plant growth-promoting endophyte: mechanistic insights and translational prospects for sustainable agriculture

Elucidating the impact of plants in recruitment of rhizosphere microbiome for enhancing pathogenic resistance, stress resilience and crop productivity

The complex and dynamic nature of plant-microbial interactions is explored in this review, and the importance of beneficial associations, pathogenic encounters, environmental stresses, and transgenic plants in shaping plant-microbial interactions is highlighted.

Beyond a dual role: how Purpureocillium lilacinum reprograms citrus metabolism for integrated biocontrol and growth promotion.

BACKGROUND Plants harbor complex microbial communities that are fundamental to their health and productivity. Among them, endophytic fungi such as Purpureocillium lilacinum establish mutualistic associations, offering dual benefits as plant growth promoters and biocontrol agents. However, the potential of this fungus i...

Ecological competence in the rhizosphere

Framing bioinoculant performance as an ecological invasion problem provides a conceptual foundation for understanding why beneficial effects are often conditional and context-dependent, rather than reflecting inconsistent microbial potential.

Revitalization of plant growth-promoting plant allied microbes: an eco-friendly approach for agricultural and environmental sustainability.

Unravelling the Role of Methylobacterium in Disease Resistance and Nematode Suppression in Plants

Overall, Methylobacterium spp.

Integrative Metabolomic and Agronomic Analyses Reveal the Impact of Pseudomonas fluorescens-Based Bioinputs on the Micro-Tom Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) Model System

The results highlight that the cell-free formulation modulates plant responses and enhances plant performance in certain aspects under the evaluated application conditions, suggesting an important biostimulant effect of the metabolites present in the cell-free microbial culture for growth promotion and improvement in f...
