This book provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of knowledge on plant microbiome interactions and associations. It covers all major mechanistic approaches used to investigate microbes’ impacts on plant growth promotion disease control and health. The industrial manufacture of nitrogen currently accounts for roughly 2% of the world’s total energy consumption. Microbial products are expected to reduce the need for costly fertilizers as well as chemical pesticides and fungicides. While beneficial microorganisms are increasingly being used in agriculture abiotic and biotic stresses such as heat drought cold and salt can quickly kill or render them useless in the field. However discovering new and better treatments is a lengthy process due to the considerable microbial diversity found in soils. Researchers have now proposed using biotechnological approaches to accelerate the process of microbial technology development. The fact that plant associated microbes stimulate plant growth and development is well known as the examples of rhizobia and mycorrhizal fungi show. The mechanisms by which these microorganisms maintain plant growth include the production of phytohormones fixation of nitrogen and the mobilization of phosphorus and minerals. The plant microbiome is also involved in pathogen suppression and especially the root microbiome acts as a protective shield against soil borne pathogens. A special feature of this book is its multidisciplinary approach spanning from plant microbiology biocontrol fungal and bacterial endophytes plant physiology to biochemistry proteomics and genomics. It is ideally suited for researchers and student of agri biotechnology soil biology and fungal biology.
