TLDR
In this paper, a review encompasses the recent developments in the field of plant-microbe interaction with a focus on the positive role of beneficial microbes in improving plant growth and development.Abstract:
Soil hosts a diverse array of microorganisms like bacteria, fungi, and protozoa, among others. These microbes frequently associate with plants and interaction occurs with the environment in a unique way as a holobiome (the host genome and associated microbiome). Plant associated symbiotic microbes often augment the host with an extra layer of complex complementary functions that increase host cell plasticity and plant fitness not only under normal conditions but even during the adverse and challenging environment. Advancement in functional genomics, proteomics and metabolomics helped to understand the molecular and biochemical events during plant-microbe interaction to a larger extent. The scope of this review encompasses the recent developments in the field of plant-microbe interaction with a focus on the positive role of beneficial microbes in improving plant growth and development. In addition, the role of endophytes and their ability to modulate the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites in plants are discussed. We conclude the chapter by proposing future application with special reference to basic and applied research related to the use of beneficial microbes in sustainable crop production and its utility for varied applications.read more

An endophytic isolate of the fungus Yarrowia lipolytica produces metabolites that ameliorate the negative impact of salt stress on the physiology of maize.
TL;DR: It is concluded that Y. lipolytica inoculation has promoted the growth of maize plants through controlled metabolism and hormonal secretions under salinity stress and can be tried as an eco-friendly bio-fertilizer to achieve optimum crop productivity under saline conditions.

Development of new genomic microsatellite markers from robusta coffee ( Coffea canephora Pierre ex A. Froehner) showing broad cross-species transferability and utility in genetic studies
TL;DR: The conventional approach of genomic library was successfully employed although with low efficiency to develop a set of 44 new genomic microsatellite markers of coffee, demonstrating them to be highly informative, and useful for genetic studies namely, genetic diversity in coffee germplasm, individualization/bar-coding for germ plasm protection, linkage mapping, taxonomic studies, and use as conserved orthologous sets across secondary genepool of coffee.

Foliar endophytic fungi alter patterns of nitrogen uptake and distribution in Theobroma cacao.
TL;DR: The results indicate that colonization by foliar endophytes significantly affects N uptake and distribution among and within host plants in ways that appear to be context dependent on other microbiome components.

Biosurfactant production and hydrocarbon degradation activity of endophytic bacteria isolated from Chelidonium majus L.
TL;DR: The endophytic strain identified as Bacillus pumilus 2A produce biosurfactant that is able to act as plant-growth promoting agent that provides promising perspectives for application of biosurfacts as potential agents for bioremediation of environment contaminated with hydrocarbons.
