Microbe-Induced Abiotic Stress Alleviation in Plants, 2nd Edition

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to extend this special invitation for contributions to a forthcoming multidisciplinary topic on "Microbe-Induced Abiotic Stress Alleviation in Plants, 2nd Edition". This multidisciplinary topic aims to compile cutting-edge research and perspectives on the pivotal role of microbes in enhancing plant resilience to various abiotic stressors.

Abiotic stresses such as drought, salinity, extreme temperatures, and heavy metal contamination continue to pose formidable challenges to global agriculture and food security. However, recent advancements in microbiology have shed light on the remarkable capacity of certain microorganisms to mitigate the adverse effects of these stresses on plant growth and productivity.

We invite original research articles, reviews, and perspectives that explore the diverse mechanisms underlying microbe-induced abiotic stress alleviation in plants. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

1. Elucidation of molecular and physiological mechanisms involved in plant-microbe interactions under stress conditions
2. Engineering microbial consortia for enhanced stress tolerance in crops
3. Application of microbe-based biostimulants and biofertilizers in sustainable agriculture
4. Metagenomic and metatranscriptomic approaches to unravel the microbial contributions to plant stress resilience
5. Field trials and practical applications of microbial interventions for stress management in agricultural systems

We encourage submissions that present novel insights, experimental findings, methodological advances, and interdisciplinary perspectives. Manuscripts will undergo rigorous peer review to ensure the publication of high-quality research.

Contributions to this multidisciplinary topic will provide valuable insights into harnessing the potential of microbial-mediated strategies for sustainable agriculture and crop improvement in the face of escalating environmental challenges.

We look forward to your participation in this exciting endeavor.
