Current soil management practices depend highly on mineral fertilizers, which are costly and unsustainable. Alternatively, eco-friendly strategies such as applications of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria, endo-mycorrhizal fungi, cyanobacteria, and other beneficial microorganisms, have recently emerged to enhance nutrient uptake and plant tolerance to abiotic stress. These biofertilizers have thus become vital in agriculture due to their potential to improve food safety. Here we review the role of biofertilizers in improving soil health and sustainable agriculture production. Applying biofertilizers promotes plant water and uptake, growth, and tolerance to abiotic and biotic factors. We explain how biofertilizers control crop functional attributes such as growth and yield of plants, nutrient characteristics, plant defensive performance and protection. Here we focus the activation of growths and defense-related genes in the signaling network of cellular pathways, causing cellular response and thus crop improvement.
