Abstract
The relationships between plant and plant growth-promoting microorganisms (PGPMs) are an integrated part of earthborn ecosystem. We are in the era of global warming when excessive use of chemical fertilizers engulfs the entire environment and society. In this scenario, it is our paramount liability to exploit PGPMs in agricultural sector for their invaluable role in sustainable crop production. Though PGPMs are colonized at/near the root of the plant, their wave of efficacy hits the doorstep of major functional aspects of the entire plant. PGPMs provide a wide array of remunerative roles to their host plant, viz., betterment of seedling and seedling vigor, root and shoot growth, photosynthetic efficiency, flowering, crop yield, disease resistance, and so forth. In this review the major beneficial aspects of consortia of PGPM on the plant growth are comprehensively addressed.
