Cereals and legumes are largely grown under harsh rainfed conditions in India, which is
further complicated by climate change and climate variability. Tropical drylands are
experiencing deficit rainfall over the years. Due to this, agricultural production is affected
in arid and semi arid regions. There is an urgent need to find low cost, ecofriendly,
sustainable solutions to manage crop productivity under rainfed situations to help resource
poor small and marginal farmers in particular. Plant microbiome interactions offer plants
to tide over adverse conditions viz., biotic and abiotic stresses through their various
activities. The mechanisms they employ under moisture stress conditions include;
synthesis and accumulation of biochemical compounds like proline and sugars, regulation
of ethylene synthesis, production of phytohormones and exopolysaccharides, enhancement
of root growth, regulation of gene expression etc. In addition to water deficit stress,
drylands are also deficient in various plant nutrients. Consortia of microorganisms with
multiple improved functions such as nitrogen fixation, drought tolerance, nutrient
mobilization and solubilization have a potential to improve drought tolerance, plant growth
and development under rainfed conditions.
