Recent changes in the pattern of agricultural practices from use of
hazardous pesticides to natural (organic) cultivation has brought
into focus the use of agriculturally important microorganisms for
carrying out analogous functions. The reputation of plant growth
promoting rhizomicroorganisms (PGPRs) is due to their antagonistic
mechanisms against most of the fungal and bacterial phytopathogens.
The biocontrol potential of agriculturally important microorganisms
is mostly attributed to their bioactive secondary metabolites.
However, low shelf life of many potential agriculturally important
microorganisms impairs their use in agriculture and adoption by
farmers. The focal theme of this book is to highlight the potential
of employing biosynthesized secondary metabolites (SMs) from
agriculturally important microorganisms for management of notorious
phytopathogens, as a substitute of the currently available whole
organism formulations and also as alternatives to hazardous
synthetic pesticides. Accordingly, we have incorporated a
comprehensive rundown of sections which particularly examine the
SMs synthesized, secreted and induced by various agriculturally
important microorganisms and their applications in agriculture.
Section 1 includes discussion on biosynthesized antimicrobial
secondary metabolites from fungal biocontrol agents. This section
will cover the various issues such as development of formulation of
secondary metabolites, genomic basis of metabolic diversity,
metabolomic profiling of fungal biocontrol agents, novel classes of
antimicrobial peptides. The section 1 will also cover the role of
these secondary metabolites in antagonist-host interaction and
application of biosynthesized antimicrobial secondary metabolites
for management of plant diseases. Section 2 will discuss the
biosynthesized secondary metabolites from bacterial PGPRs, strain
dependent effects on plant metabolome profile, bio-prospecting
various isolates of bacterial PGPRs for potential secondary
metabolites and non-target effects of PGPR on microbial community
structure and functions. Section 3 encompasses synthesis of
antimicrobial secondary metabolites from beneficial endophytes,
bio-prospecting medicinal and aromatic hosts and effect of
endophytic SMs on plants under biotic and biotic stress conditions.
