This review highlights how plant growth-promoting bacteria mitigate drought impacts in crops, suggesting sustainable microbial strategies for agriculture.
Key Points
Drought stress limits crop growth, reducing yields and production capacity in various regions.
Plant growth-promoting bacteria enhance plant tolerance to drought, improving resilience and water conservation.
The mechanisms of PGPB include regulating gene expression and modifying phytohormone levels in plants.
Integrating microbial strategies can foster sustainable agriculture and combat climate-induced stress.
