Plants face multifactorial environmental stressors mainly due to global warming and climate change which affect their growth, metabolism, productivity. Among them, is drought stress alters intracellular water relations, photosynthesis, ion homeostasis elevates reactive oxygen species eventually reduce growth yields. In addition, soil physicochemical properties beneficial microbiota are critical for plant survival. Recent reports have shown that increasing the occurrence intensity of in many regions world, has become a primary concern crop productivity, ecophysiology food security. To develop ideas strategies protecting plants against harmful effects meeting future demand under climatic calamities an in-depth understanding molecular regulatory pathways governing responses imperative. parallel, more research needed understand how changes features soil, particularly microbiomes, as microorganisms can withstand faster than plants, could assist them recover. this review we first discuss effect on microbiomes. How affects microbe interactions other microbe-driven traits was also highlighted. Next, focused sense undergo biochemical reprogramming from root shoot regulate diverse adaptive traits. For instance, role calcium (Ca 2+ ), (ROS) abscisic acid (ABA) modulating different cellular like stomata functioning, osmotic adjustment, We provide update hormones signaling crosstalk allows fine tune during stress. Further, discussed recurrent exposure leads development short-term memory survive stresses. Lastly, application omics biotechnological-based mitigating approaches combat sustainable agriculture. This offers deeper multiple factors related be useful improvement programs.
