Beneficial Microbes for Sustainable Agriculture under Abiotic Stress: Functional Traits and Regulation delves into the remarkable potential of microbe-mediated stress phytotolerance to be enhanced through a comprehensive exploration of diverse application scenarios and their corresponding outcomes. In the realm of research and studies, abiotic stress is often applied singularly to specific plants, inoculated with a bioinoculum or a microbial consortium, to isolate and examine specific plant-microbe responses. However, in the intricate tapestry of nature, plants are continuously subjected to a multitude of different stresses that coexist harmoniously. This book aims to shed light on the functional traits of microbes and their intricate interactions with plants under both specific and combined stress conditions. Collectively, it offers invaluable insights into the realm of microbial functional traits and microbe-mediated plant responses, providing a solid foundation for understanding their immense potential benefits. Furthermore, the book centers on specific microbial strains and groups that have demonstrated remarkable abilities to promote stress tolerance, offering a promising avenue for boosting agricultural production in stress-affected lands. Not only can their utilization enhance crop yields, but it also aligns with the principles of sustainable agriculture, fostering a harmonious relationship between plants and microbes.

As tools like omics-related technologies continue to evolve, emerging information on microbial functional traits and regulations governing microbe-mediated phytotolerance will pave the way for the development of relevant biotechnologies that harness the full potential of plant-microbe interactions under stress conditions. The insights contained within this volume will be of immense interest to those actively pursuing these next-generation endeavors.
