Microbiome‐mediated plant‐soil feedbacks as a tool for resilient agriculture

iMetaOmics, Volume 3, Issue 3, September 2026.
Translating plant‐soil feedbacks (PSFs) into reliable agricultural management requires shifting from input‐dependent practices toward endogenous, process‐driven crop resilience. To bridge this gap, we propose a predictive framework centered on three strategic interventions: engineering the crop holobiont, diversifying the soil habitat, and deploying ...

Advancing Thermotolerance in Beans: Integrating Physiology, Genomics, and Breeding for Climate Adaptation

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Rising global temperatures increasingly threaten bean production and the food security of millions of people who depend on these protein‐rich legumes. Heat stress during the reproductive stages induces pollen sterility, flower abscission, and disruptions in source–sink relationships, resulting in yield losses of 30%–40% or more when critical ...

Characterization of Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria and Their Benefits on Soybean Growth

LEGUME RESEARCH - AN INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL
Background: Soybean is the most important legume in the world and its seeds contains 40% protein and 20% oil. In recent years, more attention has been paid to the use of plant growth-promoting (PGP) rhizobacteria as a biofertilizer alternative to chemical fertilizers, which may pose risks to the environment.

Advances in Cold‐Plasma Technology for Legume Seeds: Mechanisms, Nutritional Quality Improvement, Food Safety and Sustainable Agriculture

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Cold plasma (CP), a nonthermal ionised gas rich in reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS), has emerged as a sustainable technology for enhancing legume production and quality. This review summarises current advances in CP applications in legumes, focusing on seed germination, seedling vigour, nutrient enhancement, antinutrient reduction ...

Auxins as One of the Factors of Plant Growth Improvement by Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria

Polish Journal of Microbiology, 2014
Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) promote plant growth by various mechanisms such as phytohormone production, enhanced water and nutrient uptake, improved nitrogen availability in the soil, production of ACC-deaminase for ethylene breakdown, phosphate solubilization, siderophore production etc.

Plant biostimulants and their potential role in achieving the United Nations sustainable development goals

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1449-1456, September 2026.
Plant biostimulants are substances that are obtained from a variety of sources and are applied in minute quantities to enhance plant growth and vigor. In this review we detail how the use of plant biostimulants may contribute to efforts to achieving a number of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Glomus iranicum var. Tenuihypharum as a Biofertilizer Modulates Soil Microbial Community Composition and Enhances Soil Carbon Dynamics in Nectarine Cultivation

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT The development of biofertilization strategies based on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) represents a promising approach to enhance crop productivity and soil health while reducing the environmental footprint of conventional fertilization. This study evaluated the effects of Glomus iranicum var.

Trichoderma Mobilizes Phosphorus and Cobalt While Excluding Sodium in the Foliar Ionome of High‐Andean Grasses Enriched With Biochar

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 3, September 2026.
This graph shows how guinea pig manure biochar raises the pH in high‐Andean soils (4150 m). Although biochar improves soil quality, nutrient uptake depends on the microorganism: Trichoderma sp. alters the foliar ionome by increasing P and Co and excluding Na, while micronutrients maintain their homeostasis depending on the species. ABSTRACT Acidic high‐

Bacillus subtilis ameliorates water stress tolerance in maize and common bean

Journal of Plant Interactions, 2019
Water stress is one important abiotic stress with negative impacts on plant productivity. In order to ameliorate abiotic stress, plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), such as Bacillus subtilis, can be used due to their positive effects on plant ...

Revealing Functional Traits of Insect Pest Suppressive Rhizobacterial Strains Through Comparative Genomics

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 9, September 2026.
Inoculation of select rhizobacterial strains to enhance crop health is a growing field in sustainable agriculture. This study conducts a comparative genomic analysis of five plant‐beneficial rhizobacterial strains (Acidovorax radicis N35, Bacillus subtilis B171, Bacillus velezensis FZB42 Rhizobium radiobacter F4 and Pseudomonas simiae WCS417r ...
