This book describes the multitude of interactions between plant,
soil, and micro-organisms. It emphasizes on how growth and
development in plants, starting from seed germination, is heavily
influenced by the soil type. It describes the interactions
established by plants with soil and inhabitant microbial community.
The chapters describe how plants selectively promote certain
microorganisms in the rhizospheric ecozone to derive multifarious
benefits such as nutrient acquisition and protection from diseases.
The diversity of these rhizospheric microbes and their interactions
with plants largely depend on plant genotype, soils attributes, and
several abiotic and biotic factors. Most of the studies concerned
with plant-microbe interaction are focused on temperate regions,
even though the tropical ecosystems are more diverse and need more
attention. Therefore, it is crucial to understand how soil type and
climatic conditions influence the plant-soil-microbes interaction
in the tropics. Considering the significance of the subject, the
present volume is designed to cover the most relevant aspects of
rhizospheric microbial interactions in tropical ecosystems.
Chapters include aspects related to the diversity of rhizospheric
microbes, as well as modern tools and techniques to assess the
rhizospheric microbiomes and their functional roles. The book also
covers applications of rhizospheric microbes and evaluation of
prospects improving agricultural practice and productivity through
the use of microbiome technologies. This book will be extremely
interesting to microbiologists, plant biologists, and ecologists.
