Rhizomicrobiome: Biodiversity and functional annotation for agricultural sustainability

The rhizomicrobiome, which consists of a rich and diverse assemblage of microbial organisms, functions analogously to the gut microbiome in the context of the plant genome. This resemblance can be attributed to the presence of microbial communities within the human gut. The habitat in question exhibits exceptional qualities, serving as a refuge for a remarkably diverse microbial community. Even though many studies have revealed the enormous functional versatility of rhizomicrobiome communities, our knowledge of the specific processes underlying the influence of rhizomicrobiome assemblies is still in its infancy. Furthermore, little is understood about the numerous advantageous properties of the rhizomicrobiome. An urgent need arises for a comprehensive and holistic investigation aimed at enhancing our comprehension of the dynamics of microbial communities, specifically the diversity and function of soil microbiomes. This study focuses on exploring this community's diversity and understanding the rhizomicrobiome role as biofertilizers, phytostimulators, stress alleviators, and biocontrol agents. � 2025 Elsevier Inc.
