Abstract Due to an increase in the world population, the urgent need to improve agricultural output has placed an immense strain on the agroecosystem. To achieve this objective, there is a need to take cognizance of soil microbiome to create an alternative to the use of chemical fertilizers. In shaping the plant’s growth and ecosystem function, plant-microbial interplay in the soil plays a pivotal role. Studies on rhizosphere microbial functional diversity have largely been restricted to bacteria, but the discoveries on ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) and unceasing findings on plant growth-promoting fungi (PGPF) have revolutionized our view of microbial activities and motivating complexity of important microbes involved in plant soil. This review proffers a synopsis of current knowledge on the effects of fungal and archaeal groups on plants and factors controlling their ecology. It highlights the importance of exploring function-based analysis in archaeal and fungal studies with contrive priorities for future research.

植物根际内的真菌和古菌群落：对它们对作物安全的贡献的综述

摘要 由于世界人口的增加，提高农业产量的迫切需要给农业生态系统带来了巨大的压力。为了实现这一目标，需要对土壤微生物群进行认识，以创造一种替代化肥使用的方法。在塑造植物的生长和生态系统功能方面，土壤中植物与微生物的相互作用起着举足轻重的作用。对根际微生物功能多样性的研究很大程度上仅限于细菌，但氨氧化古菌（AOA）的发现和植物生长促进真菌（PGPF）的不断发现彻底改变了我们对微生物活动的看法，并激发了所涉及的重要微生物的复杂性。在植物土壤中。这篇综述提供了关于真菌和古菌群对植物和控制其生态的因素的影响的当前知识的概要。它强调了在古菌和真菌研究中探索基于功能的分析的重要性，并为未来的研究设计优先事项。
