In the rhizosphere, exudates from plants and microorganisms as well
as stable soil organic matter influence processes that can control
plant growth, microbial infections, and nutrient uptake. As the
chemistry and biochemistry of these substances becomes more and
more clear, their study promises to shed light on the complex
interactions between plant and soil microflora.
Maintaining the interdisciplinary approach of the first edition,
The Rhizosphere: Biochemistry and Organic Substances at the
Soil-Plant Interface, Second Edition summarizes information on soil
science, agronomy, plant nutrition, plant physiology, microbiology,
and biochemistry to provide a comprehensive and updated overview of
the most recent advances in the field. Revised and expanded, the
second edition presents new information on areas that are only
recently gaining importance for understanding the complex
biochemistry of the soil-microbe-plant interaction. New topics
include the role of nutrient availability in regulating root
morphology and architecture, the involvement of root membrane
activities in determining and responding to the nutritional
conditions in the rhizosphere, molecular signals between root-root
and root-microbe, and gene flow and the evolution of rhizosphere
organisms and their coevolution with plants. The book also covers
mathematical modeling and methodological approaches to the study of
the rhizosphere. Information in all chapters derives from a
molecular approach which contributes to a better understanding of
the biochemical processes occurring at the plant-soil
interface.
Drawing on the expertise of pioneers in the field, The
Rhizosphere: Biochemistry and Organic Substances at theSoil-Plant
Interface, Second Edition contributes to the vigorous interchange
between rhizosphere biochemistry and molecular biology to provide
the most current information and stimulate further interest and
research on this fascinating topic.
