The ongoing global climate change triggered by greenhouse gas
growth has had a significant effect on the microbial dynamics of
plants and soils. This volume explores the various microbial
responses of plants and soils caused directly or indirectly by
climate change resulting from rising greenhouse gases and other
factors. The book considers the rapidly changing environment and
the important role of microbiomes in restoring soil and plant
health and in creating sustainable approaches. It discusses the
adaptation and mitigation of plants and soils, specifically
addressing such topics as biogeochemical processes, antimicrobial
resistance, the dynamics of bacteria and fungus in extreme
environments, bacterial siderophores for sustainability, and more.
The volume also looks at edaphic and regeneration performance of
tree species in the temperate forests.
It presents the research that addresses a diverse array of topics
on the impact of climate change on plant-microbe interactions and
microbial aquatic life, change-induced aggravations in microbial
populations and processes. The book also addresses microbial
foodborne diseases resulting from challenging climates. Other
topics include algae as indicators of climate change and strategies
for facilitating sustainable agro-ecosystems.
Plant Endophytes and Secondary Metabolites provides the latest
insights into the essential roles of these beneficial elements in
plant growth, development, stress tolerance and plant protection
from soil-borne disease.The book provides a comprehensive guide,
addressing the usefulness and utility of endophytes towards
enhancing plant tolerance to abiotic or biotic stress. It
identifies biomolecules with unique molecular architectures, novel
enzymes of industrial importance and explores the ecology and
community structure of endophytes associated with host plants and
their potential. Plant Endophytes and Secondary Metabolites
provides insights into the endophytic microbiomes that are
associated with diverse environments and includes case studies and
nano-techniques for exploring endophytic potential.The book
addresses the needs of researchers and advanced level students in
agriculture, plant sciences, and biochemistry, seeking to
underestand plant and soil microbiome sustainable ecosystem
services.
Rhizosphere: Ecology, Management and Application highlights the use
of the rhizosphere microbiome to improve plant and soil health,
including strengthening stress resistance and remediating
negatively impacted soils. The book focuses on current developments
and applications of related low input management strategies in
high-value crops as well as non-food plants. Further sections
provide insights into the ecology and functions of these
interactions, including evidence that plant microbiota is vital for
plant growth and stress resilience and health. It highlights
fundamental microbiome research to help readers better understand
the dynamics within microbial communities and their interactions
with various plant hosts and the environment. Microbial-root
associations are essential to assist plants under abiotic and
biotic stresses and are necessary and beneficial to enhancing
agricultural crop production. Numerous studies have enhanced our
vision of the complex interactions between the plant, the
associated microbial communities, and the environment. Further,
microbe – microbe interactions allow the simulation microbial
community interactions naturally, and is one of the many modern
methods for the development of novel and effective metabolites.
Microbiome Drivers of Ecosystem Function focuses on the
advancements in microbial technologies towards harnessing the
microbiome for improved crop productivity and health that are at
the frontier of agricultural sciences. It provides insights into
the diversity of endophytic microbiomes and their potential utility
in agricultural production. Increased crop yield through chemical
interventions have limit thresholds and alternative, natural and/or
integrated approaches are increasingly needed. Microbial inoculants
among the ways in which food production efficiency can be improved.
Plant growth-promoting soil organisms increase net crop uptake of
soil nutrients, resulting in larger crops and higher yields of
harvested food. These and other symbiotic associations between
plants and microbes can ultimately be exploited for the increased
food production necessary to feed the world, in addition to
creating safer farming techniques that minimize ecological
disruption. As a volume in the Microbiome Research in Plants and
Soil series, Microbiome Drivers of Ecosystem Function serves as an
ideal reference for researchers and students in the fields of
agricultural biotechnology, biochemistry, environmental science,
plant biology, agricultural sciences, and agricultural engineering.
Extremophiles are organisms that live in extreme conditions. Their
ability of surviving in extreme environments is due to their unique
physiological and genetic adaptations. Extremophiles are harnessed
for their extremozymes that have wide applications in
biotechnology, pharmaceutics and industry. Recent developments in
genomics and proteomics have helped unravel the mechanism of
survival, physiological adaptation and genomics structure of
extremophiles. This book covers the latest developments in
understanding the physiology and biochemistry of extremophiles. It
gives a complete idea about the microorganisms in these groups
along with their biotechnological applications and also discusses
the molecular genomics and molecular aspects of the extremophiles.
It also presents detailed aspects related to newer applications of
extremophiles in the industry will also be covered. The study of
extremophiles is gaining wide interest and this book bridges the
critical gap in knowledge related to extremophiles. This book is
essential to anyone who is interested in studying the microbiology,
biochemistry and application of these microorganisms.
