The Role of Microbiomes in Plant Health

Abstract

In recent years, the study of microbiomes has unveiled a complex web of interactions crucial for understanding plant health and resilience. This abstract explores the pivotal role that microbiomes play in enhancing plant growth, nutrient acquisition, and defense mechanisms against pathogens. Microbiomes, comprising diverse microbial communities residing within and around plants, have emerged as key players in shaping plant physiology and ecosystem dynamics. These communities consist of bacteria, fungi, archaea, and viruses, each contributing uniquely to plant functions through intricate biochemical processes.
