Plant Microbiome: Stress Response

Part of the book series: Microorganisms for Sustainability ((MICRO,volume 5))

Abstract

All organisms require metal ions to complete their life cycle. Excess or shortage of essential metal ions is toxic to plants. Also, some heavy metals are toxic at all concentrations and hinder the functioning of plants. Therefore, plants including microbes have evolved metal homeostatic machineries to tackle toxic levels of metals inside the cell. Since a long time, scientists have investigated metal homeostasis mechanisms in plants. In last few decades, anthropogenic activities together with natural catastrophic events have increased the bioavailable concentration of heavy metals in the biosphere. Heavy metals are persistent in nature and cannot be biodegraded. Thus, heavy-metal pollution is becoming a threat to environment, agriculture, and human health. The microbes are the most sensitive creature to metal stress than the rest of soil fauna. Some plant-microbe interactions are beneficial under stress induced by heavy metal thereby enhancing uptake, translocation, distribution, and detoxification by either or both the partners, i.e., plant or microbe. The rapid progress in the research about the molecular and physiological mechanisms of plant-associated microbes is helping us to understand the factors influencing plant-microbe-metal interactions under heavy-metal stress. In this chapter, we have summarized various aspects and recent updates of three major interactions, i.e., plant-metal, plant-microbe, and plant-microbe-metal interactions. Further, we have assessed recent updates in beneficial plant-microbe interactions and their application in the management of metal-induced abiotic stress in plants.
