Microbe-based and molecular strategies boost plant resilience, with microbial consortia and gene editing improving disease resistance under climate stress.
- Why it matters: Climate warming increases plant disease risks, threatening global food security, and current solutions lack integrated approaches to address complex environmental and biological interactions.
- What they did: The review synthesizes research on root-adhering microbes, plant-microbe-environment interactions, and advanced molecular tools like CRISPR/Cas9 and RNAi, highlighting their roles in enhancing plant immunity.
- The result: Combining beneficial microbes with molecular technologies accelerates development of climate-resilient crops, offering a promising pathway for sustainable, disease-resistant agriculture in a warming climate.
