Interactions Between Plants and Beneficial Microorganisms

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite submissions for the Special Issue "Interactions Between Plants and Beneficial Microorganisms". Studying the interactions between beneficial microorganisms and plants has gained significant importance in biotechnology. These interactions play a crucial role in sustainable agriculture by enhancing plant nutrient uptake, disease resistance, and tolerance to abiotic stress conditions. This Special Issue will focus on recent advances to understand the positive impact of microorganisms on plants. We aim to bring together research exploring the interactions between plant-associated bacteria and fungi, the molecular mechanisms underlying these interactions, and their applications in promoting plant growth and enhancing responses to biotic and abiotic stresses.

Dr. Juan Francisco Jimenez-Bremont
