摘要: Global climate change increases abiotic stresses, such as heat and salinity, which pose significant challenges to agriculture and food security. These environmental stressors adversely affect plant growth, development, and productivity through various physio-biochemical and molecular mechanisms. Heat stress disrupts cellular metabolism, alters membrane fluidity, and impairs photosynthetic processes, while salt stress induces ionic toxicity, osmotic stress, and nutrient imbalances. To cope with these abiotic stresses, plants have evolved intricate defense strategies, including the production of compatible solutes, antioxidants, and stress-responsive transcription factors. Additionally, the soil microbiome plays a critical role in plant adaptation, as beneficial microbes can enhance stress tolerance. However, climate change-induced shifts in temperature and salinity can disrupt plant-microbiome interactions, leading to reduced microbial diversity and activity. This review highlights the current understanding of the impacts of heat and salt stress on plants, soil microbes, and their interactions. It also explores the potential of multi-omics approaches, microbe-mediated strategies, and genetic engineering to enhance crop yields under stress conditions. A comprehensive understanding of the complex networks underlying plant stress responses and the optimization of beneficial plant-microbe associations are essential for developing sustainable agricultural practices and ensuring global food security.
