Synergistic Plant Metabolomics and Plant Growth Promoting Microorganisms in Addressing Abiotic Stress Released

Academic Press, the publishing arm of Elsevier, recently announced the launch of a comprehensive scientific volume that brings together the latest research on how plant metabolomics and plant‑growth‑promoting microorganisms (PGPMs) work together to bolster crop and ecosystem resilience against the escalating abiotic stresses caused by climate change.

Entitled “Synergistic Plant Metabolomics and Plant Growth‑Promoting Microorganisms in Addressing Abiotic Stress, the book is co‑edited by Mohsin Tanveer, Associate Professor at the Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography, Chinese Academy of Sciences. Dr. Tanveer emphasized the book’s “unprecedented scope and depth—combining the expertise of twenty‑plus institutions worldwide to chart a path toward green, sustainable agriculture.”

The book tackles the plant responses to increasing abiotic stressors that threaten global food security and ecosystem stability: drought and water‑scarcity, saline and alkaline soils, heavy‑metal contamination, and extreme temperatures.

By integrating multi‑omics technologies—genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics—with microbial inoculation strategies, the authors map the intricate signal‑transduction networks that govern plant–microbe interactions under stress.

With its 20 in‑depth chapters, the book serves a broad audience: plant scientists, agronomists, soil microbiologists, ecologists, and technical managers. By highlighting the potential of PGPM‑augmented metabolomics to lower fertilizer dependency, it provides actionable insights for agribusiness stakeholders and policymakers aiming to harmonize productivity with environmental stewardship.
