Abstract

Soil salinization has been considered as a global problem in agriculture, which decreases crop productivity and threatens food security. Salt stress causes complex physiological damages in plants such as ionic imbalance, osmotic stress, and oxidative damage. However, plants have developed several genomic mechanisms to reduce these negative influences that are further supported by dynamic interactions with rhizosphere microbial communities. This review integrates current advances in understanding the interplay between plant genomes and the rhizosphere microbiome under salt stress. It highlights the role of plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), and microbial volatiles…
