Abstract
Beneficial microorganisms (BMs) promote plant growth and enhance stress resistance. This review summarizes how BMs induce growth promotion by improving nutrient uptake, producing growth-promoting hormones and stimulating root development. How BMs enhance disease resistance and help protect plants from abiotic stresses has also been explored. Growth-defense trade-offs are known to affect the ability of plants to survive under unfavourable conditions. This review discusses studies demonstrating that BMs regulate growth-defense trade-offs through microbe-associated molecular patterns and multiple pathways, including the leucine-rich repeat receptor-like kinase pathway, abscisic acid signalling pathway and specific transcriptional factor regulation. This multifaceted relationship underscores the significance of BMs in sustainable agriculture. Finally, the need for integration of artificial intelligence to revolutionize biofertilizer research has been highlighted. This review also elucidates the cutting-edge advancements and potential of plant-microbe synergistic microbial agents.
