Melatonin seed priming: A climate‐smart, green strategy to enhance abiotic stress tolerance in plants

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 8, Page 2942-2975, August 2026.
This review synthesizes how melatonin seed priming preconditions seeds to enhance tolerance against diverse abiotic stresses. It highlights the underlying mechanisms and proposes an integrative roadmap of advanced molecular and breeding tools to design next‐generation, stress‐smart plants.

Cr-resistant rhizo- and endophytic bacteria associated with Prosopis juliflora and their potential as phytoremediation enhancing agents in metal-degraded soils

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015
Prosopis juliflora is characterized by distinct and profuse growth even in nutritionally poor soil and environmentally stressed conditions and is believed to harbor some novel heavy metal-resistant bacteria in the rhizosphere and endosphere.

Roles of rhizobacteria in cereals

The rhizosphere is a dynamic ecosystem consisting of a plethora of microorganisms. The rhizosphere microbiome plays diverse roles in cereal plants. Among them, the bacterial population associated with roots including exophyte microbes and endophytes has a direct impact on plant development and health.

ERF transcription factor StPti5 is a regulator of endophyte community maintenance in potato

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 3, Page 1344-1360, August 2026.
Summary We have recently identified an ethylene response factor, StPti5, as a susceptibility factor that negatively regulates immune responses to diverse pathogens. Here, we investigated the role of StPti5 in the processes involved in the colonization of potato with beneficial organisms.

Root hair plasticity in cereals under abiotic stress

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 4, Page 1684-1693, August 2026.
An integrative perspective on how to study the regulation of root hair plasticity to increase the resilience of cereals to abiotic stress. Summary Abiotic stress is a constant threat to crop growth and yield in the context of climate change. Root systems that can best adapt their architecture to environmental challenges contribute to enhanced ...
