Abstract
In natural environments, plants are exposed to complex microbiota. Plants interact with the environment through various parts such as root, shoot, stem, or leaves with microbes present in the surrounding environment. These interactions could be beneficial, neutral and harmful in terms of plant growth, nutrition as well as adaptation to stress conditions. Therefore, it is important to utilize beneficial interactions for the development of sustainable agriculture. Healthy plant-microbes relationship can be utilized to enhance soil fertility and plant productivity. Studying the plant-microbes interactions is a critical step to develop sustainable agriculture practices. In earlier days, studying these interactions was a cumbersome job, but with the advances in the science field, several techniques such as NGS sequencing, transcriptomics, metagenomics, proteomics, and metabolomics are developed to study these interactions. Keeping in mind, the importance of plant–microbe interactions for the development of sustainable agriculture, the present chapter broadly described various interactions between the two, tools to describe the interactions, and new challenges to study these interactions along with future perspectives.
