Horticulture crops are an integral part of food, nutritional, and economic securities in India. Horticulture crops phytobiome research explore the importance of native microbial communities that modulate plant growth and health. A very little information is available about the structure, composition, and dynamics of horticulture-associated microbial communities as well as the functional contribution of cultured and uncultured community members who directly involved in the acquisition of nutrients, growth promotion, resilience against pathogens, and tolerance against abiotic stress (heat, drought, and salinity). Due to the increasing demand for crop production, functional mechanisms of microbial communities are need to explore through modern molecular approaches.
