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 the Soil-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.
