Recent developments in our understanding of the role of microbes in sustainable agriculture and disease management have created a highly potential research area. The plant holobiont has a significant role in stress signaling, nutrient use efficiency, and soil health and fertility for sustainable developments. The mycorrhizosphere, hyphosphere, phyllosphere, rhizosphere and endosphere are critical interfaces for the exchange of signaling and resources between plants and soil environment.
This book is an ideal reference source for microbiologists, agrochemists, biotechnologists, biochemists, industrialists, researchers and scientists working on agriculturally important microorganisms and their exploitation in sustainable future applications.
- Gives insights into mechanisms of plant-microbe interaction
- Introduces new aspects and advances in plant-microbe interaction for disease management
- Includes descriptions and modern practices on how to harness the potential of microbes in sustainable agriculture applications
Students, Scientists and Researchers at universities, Biochemists, Bioengineers, Biochemical engineers, Chemical engineers, Plant Biochemists, Microbiologist, Microbial industries and Agricultural Industries
