Interactions Between Plant Genotypes and PGPR are a Challenge for Crop Breeding and Improvement Inoculation Responses

Abstract

The world population for the year 2030 has been estimated in 8500 million people. It is a challenge to increase, with environmental awareness, the productivity of food crops reducing the use of pesticides and fertilizers to promote agricultural sustainability. This contrasts with the objectives of the green revolution of the 1960s. Cereal crops are the basis of human food but most of them have reached their peak of productive potential through traditional breeding. For this reason, a new green revolution is necessary, which achieves greater harvests on the basis for a better use of available natural resources with less loss from pests and diseases. Thus, it is necessary to consider the acquired knowledge of the roots and the thin layer of soil that surrounds them, which is the rhizosphere.
