Abstract
Plant microbiomes, comprising diverse communities of bacteria, fungi, and archaea, play a vital role in enhancing plant resilience under changing climatic conditions. These microorganisms, particularly in the rhizosphere, form mutualistic associations with plants and contribute to nutrient acquisition, hormonal regulation, and stress mitigation. Climate change, characterized by rising temperatures, altered precipitation patterns, and increased frequency of extreme events, significantly influences plant–microbe interactions. Understanding these dynamic relationships is essential for developing climate-resilient agricultural systems. Advances in microbiome research, including microbial consortia design and metagenomics, offer promising strategies for sustainable crop production under environmental stress.
