Plant-Microbe Interaction - Recent Advances in Molecular and Biochemical Approaches Volume 2: Agricultural Aspects of Microbiome Leading to Plant Defence

Plant-Microbe Interaction - Recent Advances in Molecular and Biochemical Approaches: Agricultural Aspects of Microbiome Leading to Plant Defence, Volume Two continues the work of Volume One, covering the role of these plant microbes and their interaction between plants and microbes. These beneficial microbes, such as bacteria and fungi are also known as plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) through a biochemical reaction that may improve induced systemic resistance in the plant host via indirectly (against phytopathogens) or directly (the solubilization of mineral nutrients) by producing phytohormones and specific enzymes such as 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate deaminase.

The book covers biochemical processes such as physiological, metabolic, etc. of plant and microbe interactions, the biochemistry of biological systems, the interaction of biological systems above-ground or within the rhizosphere, and the history of growth promoting microbiomes, their roles in phytoremediation efficiency, physiological and biochemical studies, chemical communication and signaling mechanisms.

• Covers agricultural aspects in which the biochemistry in between plants and microbes helps us understand interactions in the rhizosphere
• Helps readers understand the molecular and biochemical approaches of plant-microbe interactions
• Enables an understanding of plant microbe interactions which will help to improve crop production
