Improving Plant Performance Through Microbiome Manipulation: The Potential Role of Current Bioengineering Approaches
In the recent past, microbiome manipulation has emerged as a promising approach to improve plant growth performance by exploring the deep insight of plant–microbe interactions. The exploration of a plant microbiome either present on an ectosphere or endosphere can provide a far better understanding...

| description | In the recent past, microbiome manipulation has emerged as a promising approach to improve plant growth performance by exploring the deep insight of plant–microbe interactions. The exploration of a plant microbiome either present on an ectosphere or endosphere can provide a far better understanding about the potential application of plant-associated microbes for the improvement of plant growth, protection from pathogen invasion, and tolerance to environmental stresses of a diverse nature. In this context, next-generation sequencing methods, omics approaches, and synthetic biology have made significant progress in plant microbiome research and are being frequently used to explore the intriguing role of plant-associated microorganisms. Despite the successfulness of conventional approaches, the incorporation of CRISPR/Cas9, RNA interference technology, rhizosphere engineering, microbiome engineering, and other manipulation techniques appear to be a promising approach to enhancing plant performance, and tolerance against biotic and abiotic stress factors. The present review presents the significance of plant microbe interaction, vital functional aspects, collaborative action, potential constraints, and finally the latest developments in bioengineering approaches destined for microbiome modulation with an objective to improve the performance of a host plant challenged with environmental stressors. |
