Manuscript Topics

Plants and microbes are in constant association that is either harmful or beneficial for the plants. Beneficial microbes promote plant growth by supplying nutrients, synthesizing plant hormones, and protecting the plants from both biotic and abiotic stresses by stimulating the plant defence or by inhibiting the pathogens growth either by competition for space and nutrients or by producing antimicrobial compounds against plant pathogens. Plant scientists and other researchers are focusing on new and innovative ways to promote plant growth and reduce pathogens damage to the plants in a sustainable, eco-friendly and socially acceptable way. To promote the use of beneficial microbes in agriculture as biofertilizers and biocontrol agents, deeper understanding of the role of different microbes and their mode of action is required.

In this Special Issue, we welcome articles (original research papers, perspectives, hypotheses, opinions, reviews, modeling approaches and methods) focusing on beneficial microbes and their interactions with host plants and other plant-associated microorganisms, including genetics, genomics, transcriptomics, plant microbiome studies, plant health, and other studies.

• Bacteria/procaryote/fungi/virus beneficial interaction with plant using omics and other approaches  
• Defining and / or Managing pathogen complexes in horticultural or other agriculturally important crops  
• Microbial cooperation in plant growth promotion, disease control or plant resilience to environmental stresses  
• Synthetic communities (SynComs) for plant growth promotion, disease control or abiotic stresses management  
• Microbiomes and its role in plant resilience to biotic and biotic stresses
