Core microbiome: Plant growth and development

Abstract

Many scholars have recognized the benefits of microbes around legume crops and their assistance in the inoculation and development of nodules on their lateral roots. It is a fine-tuned reduction process that converts N2 NH3. Nod factors are a product of Rhizobium spp., which play a vital role in the development of root nodules. Moving to secondary signals like phytohormones will trigger secondary metabolites in roots. These signals fix the symbiotic association and promote nutrients uptake, such as nitrogen and phosphorus and resist biotic and abiotic stresses. However, different signaling pathways can be established for legume-root nodulation. Nodulation genes are helpful in the regulation of proper plant growth and development. Biofertilizers support in the mobilization of nutrients for plant growth and farmers ought to be encouraged in using them to create low environmental impact under the global climate change scenario. © 2022 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.
