Metagenomic Tools as Predictive Approaches to Decipher Soil and Rhizosphere Microbial Communities and Their Functions for Sustainable Agriculture

The increasing demand for resilient and sustainable food production necessitates a comprehensive understanding of rhizosphere microbial communities and their functional roles in enhancing plant health, nutrient acquisition, stress resilience, and crop productivity, thereby supporting food security and sustainable agric...

Unlocking the hidden potential of the genus Salvia through a systematic review of endophytic bacterial and fungal diversity and biotechnological prospects

Nanopriming and Nanocoating as a Next‐Generation Seed Treatment for Enhanced Plant Growth and Pathogen Resistance

ABSTRACT In pursuit of sustainable agriculture, current strategies continue to explore environmentally friendly inputs that promote plant development. Seed treatment is an ancient practice used to break seed dormancy and hasten germination. Although traditional seed treatments yield positive outcomes, the methods adopt...

Unravelling genomic and functional traits of two biocontrol and plant growth-promoting Pseudomonas endophytes

The integration of comparative genomics and experimental validation demonstrates that P. palleroniana R11F and R19M possess complementary traits associated with plant growth promotion, pathogen suppression, saline stress adaptation, and bioremediation.

Challenges and Future Directives of Synthetic Biology in Engineering Plant–Microbe Partnerships for Sustainable Agriculture

To completely translate synthetic biology from the laboratory to the field, improved delivery methods, monitoring strategies, and harmonized regulatory frameworks should be encouraged and the development of robust and controllable microbial chassis should be emphasized.

Climate Change and African Agricultural Resilience: A 10‐Year Comprehensive Review of Adaptive Capacity, Policy, and Environmental Stewardship

In the current era, climate change has emerged as a fundamental threat to African agriculture, driven by increasingly erratic climatic patterns such as prolonged rainfall, decadal droughts, and escalating thermal stress. This review evaluates contemporary agricultural productivity by gathering and analyzing empirical d...
