Perceptions of Microbe Microbe Plant Microbiome Interfaces: The Metagenomic Manoeuvre Chapter 22. Metagenomic Approach In Relation To Microbe Microbe; Plant Microbiome Interactions The book discusses the complex interactions between plants and their associated microbial communities. It also elucidates the ways in which these microbiomes are connected with the plant system and how they affect plant health. The different chapters describe how microbiomes affect plants with regard to immunity disease conditions stress management and productivity. In addition the book describes how an ‘additional plant genome’ functions as a whole organ system of the host and how it presents both challenges and opportunities for the plant system. Moreover the book includes a dedicated section on using omics tools to understand these interactions and on exploiting them to their full potential
