Rhizosphere Microbiome-Mediated Drought Resilience in Cereals: Implications for Grain Nutrition, Yield, and Tolerance.
Microbiome-driven strategies enhance drought resilience in Cereals, improving yield and grain nutrition by revealing key molecular pathways and biomarkers.
- Why it matters: Drought reduces cereal crop quality and yields, threatening global food security, and current solutions lack comprehensive understanding of microbiome roles in stress tolerance.
- What they did: The review synthesizes knowledge on soil microbiomes, especially AMF and PGPR, using multi-omics approaches to identify biomarkers and pathways that regulate drought response and crop performance.
- The result: An integrated framework enables targeted bioinformatics and microbiome interventions, advancing climate-resilient agriculture and addressing hidden hunger through drought biofortification and microbial consortia development.
