Microbial communities have a significant impact on the physiology and growth of plants, which is essential to their functioning. Typically located in the root systems of plants, endosymbiotic microbes both directly and indirectly promote plant development by inhibiting the proliferation of plant pathogens, producing a variety of secondary metabolites, and occasionally being essential for mitigating adverse environmental conditions. They also function as biocontrol agents and help the host withstand various biotic and abiotic stressors. This chapter emphasizes how endosymbiont bacteria can improve crop yield and resilience in a range of environments. It also discusses the function of microorganisms in plant health, describing how endosymbionts can enhance stress tolerance and disease resistance, fostering sustainable agriculture and effective biocontrol methods that present a viable substitute for conventional chemical inputs.

摘要

Microbial communities have a significant impact on the physiology and growth of plants, which is essential to their functioning. Typically located in the root systems of plants, endosymbiotic microbes both directly and indirectly promote plant development by inhibiting the proliferation of plant pathogens, producing a variety of secondary metabolites, and occasionally being essential for mitigating adverse environmental conditions. They also function as biocontrol agents and help the host withstand various biotic and abiotic stressors. This chapter emphasizes how endosymbiont bacteria can improve crop yield and resilience in a range of environments. It also discusses the function of microorganisms in plant health, describing how endosymbionts can enhance stress tolerance and disease resistance, fostering sustainable agriculture and effective biocontrol methods that present a viable substitute for conventional chemical inputs.
