    Biosynthesis and beneficial effects of microbial gibberellins on crops for sustainable agriculture
    (Oxford University Press, 2022) Keswani, Chetan; Singh, Satyendra P.; Garc�a-Estrada, Carlos; Mezaache-Aichour, Samia; Glare, Travis R.; Borriss, Rainer; Rajput, Vishnu D.; Minkina, Tatiana M.; Ortiz, Aurelio; Sansinenea, Estibaliz
    Soil microbes promote plant growth through several mechanisms such as secretion of chemical compounds including plant growth hormones. Among the phytohormones, auxins, ethylene, cytokinins, abscisic acid and gibberellins are the best understood compounds. Gibberellins were first isolated in 1935 from the fungus Gibberella fujikuroi and are synthesized by several soil microbes. The effect of gibberellins on plant growth and development has been studied, as has the biosynthesis pathways, enzymes, genes and their regulation. This review revisits the history of gibberellin research highlighting microbial gibberellins and their effects on plant health with an emphasis on the early discoveries and current advances that can find vital applications in agricultural practices. � 2021 The Society for Applied Microbiology.

    Economic Shock and Agri-Sector: Post-COVID-19 Scenario in India
    (Springer Nature, 2021) Dilnashin, Hagera; Birla, Hareram; Rajput, Vishnu D.; Keswani, Chetan; Singh, Surya P.; Minkina, Tatiana M.; Mandzhieva, Saglara S.
    The COVID-19 pandemic had a devastating impact on the human health and global economy. The food and agriculture sectors have also felt these effects. In many countries, the measures taken to curb the spread of the virus were initiated to hinder the supply of agricultural products to markets and consumers inside and outside the borders. How this impacts the food safety, nutrition, and the livelihoods of farmers, fishermen, and others working in the food supply chain depends mainly on short-, medium-, and long-term policy responses. Epidemics pose severe challenges to the food system in the short term, but they also offer an opportunity to face challenges and accelerate the transformation of the food and agricultural sectors to increase resilience. The aim of the review was to highlight the valuable insight on the impact of COVID-19 on the Indian agricultural system and rural economy, as well as potential strategies for post-pandemic recovery. � 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
