Harnessing the soil microbial wealth for enhancement of plant secondary metabolites in medicinal and aromatic plants

摘要: Abstract Plant–microbe interaction is the major driving force regulating performance of an ecosystem by various mechanisms like solubilization limiting nutrients, production antibiotics, quorum sensing, phytohormones production, etc. In this context, plant growth-promoting microbes (PGPMs) have been widely used in agricultural crops as a potential replacement for toxic chemical fertilizers enhancement growth and yield. However, less attention has given to microbial diversity, functional attributes, application medicinal aromatic plants (MAPs). addition augmented better nutrient absorption, restrainment pathogens, revamped stress tolerance capacity plants, recent reports suggest increment bioactive secondary metabolite content MAPs beneficial rhizospheric microbes. Also, focus at present shifting due recognition that considerable number compounds phytotherapeutic importance are actually produced either associated or having with their host. chapter, therefore, we review current date progress PGPMs research on examine viewpoint treatment “tiny revolutionizers” metabolites.
