Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Shedding light on the multiple functions of rhizosphere microorganisms and clarifying the interaction between rhizosphere microorganisms and crop plants can advance our understanding of ways to manage rhizosphere microorganisms to promote crop growth. Thus, the main scope of this Special Issue includes: (1) the mechanism of crop and rhizosphere microorganisms regulating soil C, N and P cycles, for instance, ways in which rhizosphere microorganisms and crop growth affect greenhouse gas emissions, nutrient leaching, soil carbon sequestration, etc.; (2) how rhizosphere microorganisms regulate physiological processes, root growth, defense strategies and plant–plant interaction of crop; (3) whether rhizosphere microorganisms can be regulated via agronomic management practices and then influence the multifunctionality of agriculture; and (4) how rhizosphere microorganisms respond to abiotic/biotic stress to regulate the nutrient uptake and growth of cereal.
