Drought is devastating to agricultural productivity, and drought intensity and frequency are expected to increase in the coming years. Despite ongoing studies to address the crisis, we are far to find a single solution that will solve it; only combinations of different strategies applied across the AgriFood sector has the potential to achieve transformative effects. For example, recent evidences suggest that soil microbes that live in close association with plants may play a role in plant drought tolerance. Hence, controlling the beneficial interaction of these microbes with the plant is an excellent strategy to help manage water content in the plant. This project proposes to use molecular tools, experiments under controlled conditions, and cutting-edge plant physiological characterization to disentangle the plant-microbe relationships in the context of adaptation to drought stress. This project would advance our progress toward both, understanding the evolution of this interaction, and the development of microbial tools or techniques to improve drought resilience in agroecosystems.

干旱对农业生产力具有破坏性，预计未来几年干旱的强度和频率将增加。尽管正在进行研究以应对危机，但我们远未找到解决危机的单一解决方案;只有将农业食品部门的不同战略相结合，才有可能实现变革性效果。例如，最近的证据表明，与植物密切相关的土壤微生物可能在植物耐旱性中发挥作用。因此，控制这些微生物与植物的有益相互作用是帮助管理植物中含水量的极好策略。该项目建议使用分子工具，在受控条件下进行实验，以及尖端的植物生理特征来解开适应干旱胁迫的植物-微生物关系。该项目将推进我们的进展，了解这种相互作用的演变，以及微生物工具或技术的发展，以提高农业生态系统的抗旱能力。
