Abstract:
Most productive lands worldwide base their crop production on the use of glyphosate (GLY)-resistant plants, and consequently, widespread use of this herbicide has led to environmental issues that need to be solved. Soil bioremediation technologies based on degradation of GLY by microorganisms are strategies that have been considered useful to solve this environmental problem. Recently, a further step has been taken considering the use of bacteria that interact with plants, either alone or both bacteria and plant together, for the removal of GLY herbicide. Plant-interacting microorganisms with plant growth-promoting traits can also enhance plant growth and contribute to successful bioremediation strategies.
