Plant–Microbe Interactions for Sustainable Growth and Resilience

This book presents a range from basic understanding of host-microbe interactions to more advanced topics such as molecular mechanisms, small RNA regulation, and practical applications to implement for sustainable agriculture. This information is an invaluable tool for advancing agricultural practices and working towards food security.

This book reviews dynamic relationships between plants and microbes, highlighting their roles in enhancing crop resilience, growth, and productivity. Integrating research and practical insights, the book provides solutions to pressing agricultural challenges, including soil degradation, pest resistance, and nutrient inefficiency. It discusses plant–microbe interactions; regulation of the host–microbe interaction by small RNA molecules and their mechanisms; and applications of sustainable crop production and climate-resilient agriculture. The book covers a broad spectrum of plant–microbe interactions—from root symbioses to shoot colonization—and provides a holistic understanding of how these interactions impact crop health and productivity, helping readers optimize their strategies for improving crop yields and sustainability. Key Features:Ensures a thorough presentation for understanding plant–microbe dynamics—from basic interactions to molecular mechanisms and practical applicationsOffers a comprehensive exploration of how plant–microbe interactions can revolutionize sustainable agriculturePresents innovative strategies for harnessing natural partnerships to improve crop yields and sustainability
