Overview

This book offers a comprehensive guide to discovering, assessing, and utilizing consortia of beneficial microbes for crop protection and enhanced crop production in the context of climate change. It provides deep insights into the functional roles of the rhizomicrobiome, including AMF, endophytes, PGPRs, and the phyllomicrobiome, as well as the microbiomes of different plant parts such as seeds, fruits, and stems, in promoting plant growth, development, and the biocontrol of pests and pathogens in a sustainable manner.

Latest Techniques and Applications

The book also presents the latest updates on molecular biology techniques, genetic engineering, biotechnological tools, and metagenomics, which are widely used for analyzing plant-pathogen interactions and microbial identification. It will be especially valuable for students and faculty involved in the study and teaching of plant–microbe interactions, as well as researchers working on sustainable methods for plant disease management. With cutting-edge research from leading experts, this book aims to contribute to the development of an eco-friendly, sustainable agricultural system.
