The world agricultural scenario has been altered by the increase in temperature, drought, light intensity, variability and rainfall seasonality and chemical modification of the soil solution among other abiotic factors, which have modified the productive bioclimatic zones, hindering the development and reducing the productivity of the plants, causing damage to agribusiness. Understanding the soil-microorganism-plant interaction system allows creating strategies and tools to overcome the challenge of sustainable production. Microbial biotechnology brings together techniques such as inoculation and bioprospecting of microorganisms, intending to provide/induce benefits to plants. This chapter describes the benefits induced by PGPRs in crop production when these are under stress. Predictions of productive gain and possible morphological and biochemical changes can be estimated by the applications of the genomic and proteomic tools, answering gaps left in the understanding of the microorganism-plant interaction. In response to water stress (water deficit and flooding), thermal stress (low and high temperature) and soil chemistry (salinity, soil pH and xenobiotics), various proteins are transcribed and required for the tolerance and resistance process. |
