Abstract

Climate change is one of the most pressing challenges facing agriculture today, with its adverse effects on crop productivity and global food security. To combat the impacts of climate change, the development of climate-resilient crop species is crucial. Plant‒microbe interactions play a significant role in enhancing plant resilience to various stressors, including drought, heat, salinity, and pathogen attacks. This chapter explores the intricate relationship between plants and microbes and their potential role in developing climate-resilient crop species. It delves into the various mechanisms involved, highlighting the importance of harnessing these interactions for sustainable agriculture in the face of a changing climate.
