Abstract

Microorganisms play an important role in the plant system and have incredible metabolic capabilities. They assist the host in dealing with a wide range of biotic and abiotic stressors. Actinomycetota members are abundant in soil and have been shown to aid plant growth in a variety of ways, including increased nutrient availability, disease prevention, nitrogen fixation, and the production of hydrolytic enzymes and phytohormones. There is a wealth of literature focusing on Streptomyces members reporting plant growth promotion. The current review will focus on Actinomycetota other than Streptomyces that promote plant growth.

Keywords: Actinomycetota; Plant growth promotion; Plant- microbes interaction.
