Isolation and characterization of plant-probiotic microorganisms for improving growth and stress resilience in cropped plant holobionts

sustainable productivity needs plants resistent to natural adversities and efficient in nutrients assimilation. Both these skills are partially dependent on how plant holobiont has evolved, interacting with soil microbiomes. Plant’s holobiontic nature actually renders crop productive phenotypes greatly regulated by  the genomes of their inseparable microbial partners.
