Foreword
Global warming and other potential climatic abnormalities associated with it cause different types of biotic and abiotic stress conditions that lead to affect plant growth and yield severely. Though not visible to our naked eyes, plant-microbe interactions occur in several ways. In fact, plant interacts with microbes at a certain phase of their life, and this communication is not inevitably harmful for the plant. Indeed, there are copious examples of plant-microbe associations that effectively benefit the plants by enhancing their growth, survivability, and productivity. The plant-microbe interaction is very essential for combating any stressful conditions. The microbes associated with plants secrete volatile compounds that encourage plant growth and/ or provide resistance against abiotic and/or biotic stresses. Microorganisms, occupying in different environments, have variable biological and metab
