| Summary: | Global food security is increasingly concerned by soil salinity. Chemical inputs are frequently utilized in traditional agriculture, endangering the environment and depleting natural resources. The risks that chemical-based agriculture poses to the ecosystem highlight how urgently sustainable solutions are needed in light of climate change. In this setting, creating sustainable strategies for increasing saline soil production without damaging the ecosystem is critical. Long-term efforts have been made to breed salt-tolerant plants and produce salt-resistant agricultural types, but these and other traditional tactics have failed to tackle the problem. Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) has surfaced as a viable substitute, promoting plant growth and augmenting stress resistance. Salt-tolerant PGPR may withstand osmotic and ionic stress and are known to cope-up salinity stresses. Moreover, maximizing the potential of the underlying stress management and signaling pathways systems requires a thorough understanding of them. Effective and sustainable agricultural practices depend on identifying the precise plant signaling pathways affected by PGPR and understanding their role in stress reduction. Recent research on the possibility of PGPR boosting the productivity of plants under salt stress suggests that ST-PGPR may be applied to the reclamation of salty agroecosystems. By reducing the requirement for chemical inputs, ST-PGPR mediated stress regulation may promote ecologically friendly farming practices. This review aims to investigate the potential of ST-PGPR to increase the productivity of salty agroecosystems. It will do so by critically analyzing the current literature, highlighting knowledge gaps, and outlining future research directions in the application of ST-PGPR for saline soil reclamation. |
