Engineered SynComs, designed to enhance plant growth and yield under a variety of abiotic stresses, have shown considerable potential in promoting plant growth and yield in harsh climates, providing a promising tool for climate-resilient agriculture. Including drought, salinity and extreme temperatures. This research synthesizes the results of multiple field trials conducted in a variety of agricultural environments under different climatic conditions. Field trials showed that SynComs significantly improved crop performance under various environmental stress conditions, with key observations including increased biomass, root length and yield, as well as enhanced stress resistance. Specifically, plants treated with SynCom showed higher resistance, such as maintaining higher chlorophyll levels under saline-alkali stress and reducing oxidative damage at extreme temperatures. This study hopes to assess the development and field performance of engineered synthetic microbial communities (SynComs) designed for climate-resilient agriculture, with a focus on their ability to improve plant health, yield, and stress resistance to fully utilize their potential and ensure consistent performance across crops and environmental conditions.
