Habitat-Imposed Stress Tolerance in Plants via Soil–Microbe Interactions

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Plant Stress Mitigators

Abstract

Plants, due to their static nature, are continuously put at risk to different kinds of habitat-imposed stresses, viz. drought, salinity, temperature, etc., which constrain their productivity besides growth and development. At the same time, they keep on communicating with the soil microbiota in diverse ways under natural conditions to overcome these stresses by modifying their physiological and molecular pathways. The stress-induced changes generally alter plants’ proteomics, transcriptomics, phenomics, and metabolomics, which, in turn, affect the rhizospheric conditions due to changes in the nutrient, mineral, and metabolite composition of root and shoot exudates secreted in the soil. Flavonoids, coumarins, and other organic compounds serve as plant signals to shape the structure and composition of microbiomes that interact with the host plant. The role of several rhizospheric occupants like symbiotic fungi (Arbuscular Mycorrhiza) and bacteria (nitrogen-fixing and plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria) in plant stress tolerance by direct and indirect mechanisms has been well documented. These mechanisms in mitigating the effects of multiple stresses involve reinforcing the plant defense system (through the production of allopathic compounds, HCN, etc.), enhancing the heat shock proteins and phytohormone production along with inducing genes related to plant stress. The identification, isolation, and use of stress-tolerant rhizospheric microbial strains under habitat-imposed stress have the potential to solve the universal problem of food security and also to nourish soil health. However, the questions regarding the formulation of the effective consortia of microbes (SynComs), their synchronization, and delivery into the field to overcome the harmful effects of changing environment need to be addressed. As microbe–plant interactions are very complex, system biology may play a crucial role in enhancing our knowledge to understand these complex relationships.
