This book provides an overview of the latest advances concerning
symbiotic relationships between plants and microbes, and their
applications in plant productivity and agricultural sustainability.
Symbiosis is a living phenomenon including dynamic variations in
the genome, metabolism and signaling network, and adopting a
multidirectional perspective on their interactions is required when
studying symbiotic organisms. Although various plant-microbe
symbiotic systems are covered in this book, it especially focuses
on arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) symbiosis and root nodule symbiosis,
the two most prevalent systems. AM symbiosis involves the most
extensive interaction between plants and microbes, in the context
of phylogeny and ecology. As more than 90% of all known species of
plants have the potential to form mycorrhizal associations, the
productivity and species composition, as well as the diversity of
natural ecosystems, are frequently dependent upon the presence and
activity of mycorrhizas. In turn, root nodule symbiosis includes
morphogenesis and is formed by communication between plants and
nitrogen-fixing bacteria. The biotechnological application of
plant-microbe symbiosis is expected to foster the production of
agricultural and horticultural products while maintaining
ecologically and economically sustainable production systems.
Designed as a hands-on guide, this book offers an essential
resource for researchers and students in the areas of
agri-biotechnology, soil biology and fungal biology.
