Key features
Key features
- Presents an overview on mechanisms by which plants protect themselves against herbivory and pathogenic microbes
- Identifies the use of immunization as a popular and effective alternative to chemical pesticides
- Explores how these fungi help crop plants in better uptake of soil nutrients, increase soil fertility, produce growth promoting substances, and secrete metabolites that act as bio-pesticides
