beneficial-microbes
Beneficial microbes are microorganisms—including bacteria, fungi, and other microbiota—that form symbiotic relationships with plants, promoting growth, nutrient uptake, and disease resistance. In plant science, these microbial partnerships are central to understanding soil health, rhizosphere dynamics, and sustainable agriculture, as they can enhance plant productivity without chemical inputs. Research in this area is revealing how plants recruit and maintain their microbiomes, opening new avenues for crop improvement and ecosystem resilience.
