Microbiomes and Plant Health: Panoply and Their Applications

Plant-associated microbiomes is a relatively new and fast-growing area of research. Plant and soil microbiologists need to understand how microbial communities impact phytoremediation, plant health management, disease diagnosis and sustainable agriculture practices. This is a complex system with vast potential applications. Microbiomes and Plant Health: Panoply and Their Applications includes the most recent advances in phytobiome research. It emphasizes the use of modern molecular tools such as smart delivery systems for microbiol inoculation, next-generation sequencing and genome mapping. Chapters discuss a variety of applications and examples including; the sugarcane microbiome, rhizoengineering, nutrient recycling, sustainable agricultural practices and bio-potential of herbal medicinal plants. Written by a range of experts with real-world practical insights, this title is sure to be an essential read for plant and soil microbiologists, phytopathologists, agronomists, and researchers interested in sustainable forestry and agriculture practices. Offers readers a one-stop resource on the topic of plant and soil microbiome and their applications in plant disease, sustainable agriculture, soil health and medicinal plantsAddresses the role of phytobiome to combat biotic and abiotic factorsEmphasizes the use modern molecular tools such as smart delivery systems for microbial inoculation, next-generation sequencing and genome mapping INDICE: PART ONE: INTRODUCTION 1.
