Abstract
Symbiosis research has been undertaken by researchers working independently of one another and often focused on a broad range of symbiotic interactions ranging from bipartite microbial consortia to multicellular hosts and their complex microbial communities. Recent investigations in symbiosis can impact areas such as agriculture sustainability, where a basic understanding of plant-microbe symbiosis will provide foundational information on the increasingly important issue of climate change. In this respect, in this chapter, we provided comments and references to finally establish symbiosis as an overdue central discipline of biological science. The interactions between medicinal plants and beneficial microorganisms, such as some Actinobacteria, Firmicutes, etc., proved the importance of these interactions to both symbionts in terms of enhanced adaptability, survival, and fitness of plants under different environmental stresses.
