Abstract

Abiotic stress poses a severe danger to agriculture since it negatively impacts cellular homeostasis and eventually stunts plant growth and development. Abiotic stressors like drought and excessive heat are expected to occur more frequently in the future due to climate change, which would reduce the yields of important crops like maize, wheat, and rice which may jeopardize the food security of human populations. The plant microbiomes are a varied and taxonomically organized microbial community that is connected to plants. By supplying nutrients and water to plants, and regulating their physiology and metabolism, plant microbiota frequently helps plants develop and tolerate abiotic stresses, which can boost crop yield under abiotic stresses. In this present study, with emphasis on temperature, salt, and drought stress, we describe current findings on how abiotic stresses impact the plants, microbiomes, microbe-microbe interactions, and plant-microbe interactions as the way microorganisms affect the metabolism and physiology of the plant. We also explore crucial measures that must be taken in applying plant microbiomes in agriculture practices faced with abiotic stresses.
