The plant microbiota consists of microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, and archaea, that live in association with plants. This microbiome plays a critical role in plant health, aiding nutrient acquisition, promoting growth, and enhancing resistance to stress and pathogens. The rhizosphere, the region around plant roots, is particularly rich in beneficial microbes that contribute to soil fertility and plant nutrition. Endophytes, another component of plant microbiota, live within plant tissues without causing harm, often enhancing plant resilience. Advances in microbiome research are paving the way for bio-fertilizers and biocontrol agents, reducing the need for chemical inputs. By harnessing the potential of plant microbiota, sustainable agricultural practices can be fostered, benefiting both crops and ecosystems.
