Microbial partnerships and molecular mechanisms in plant stress physiology for climate-resilient and sustainable farming.
Review in Planta, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
MAIN
conclusionPlant-microbial partnerships and their underlying molecular mechanisms are indispensable, natural drivers of improved nutrient acquisition and stress tolerance in the face of climate-driven environmental challenges. Modern multi-omics tools, when coupled with artificial intelligence and synthetic biology, enable the precise design of targeted bioinoculants and synthetic microbial consortia. Translating these advanced microbiome-based strategies into scalable, field-level agricultural applications provides a sustainable path toward securing global food production while maintaining soil health. Global climate change imposes multifaceted abiotic and biotic stresses on crops, disrupting physiological and molecular processes and threatening agricultural productivity. Plant-associated microbes represent an underexplored yet powerful ally in enhancing crop resilience. This review presents current knowledge of plant-microbe interactions and the molecular mechanisms governing plant stress physiology, with an emphasis on climate-resilient and sustainable farming. Hence, ever-changing environmental cues pose a significant burden on agricultural productivity, and plant-associated microbial communities modulate a cascade of physiological and molecular responses, including production of phytohormones, signaling, regulation of reactive oxygen species homeostasis, and activation of plant immune responses to help plants withstand stress and enhance productivity. Moreover, root exudates, phytohormones, and quorum sensing mediate the central communication networks, facilitating plant-microbe cross talk. Additionally, the advances in OMICs approaches aid in disentangling the molecular underpinnings of these interactions by providing mechanistic insights and potential candidate gene targets for crop improvement and stress resilience. In the post-genomic era, integrating artificial intelligence and big data analysis to optimize microbiome-based strategies for sustainable agriculture is a new frontier for disentangling plant-microbe symbiosis to improve soil health, enhance crop yields, and improve stress tolerance. Thus, by integrating the ecological, physiological, and molecular perspectives, this review highlights the transformative potential of harnessing plant-microbe symbiosis for climate-resilient and sustainable agriculture.
