Molecular Mechanisms of Plant and Microbe Coexistence presents
studies on the complex and manifold interactions of plants and
microbes at the population, genomics and proteomics level. The role
of soil microbial diversity in enhancing plant health and plant
microbe beneficial symbioses is discussed. Microbial communities
are shown in the light of evolution. Main topics include genome
coexistence and the functional genomics and proteomics of
plant-associated microbes, which could form the basis for new
environmentally benign strategies to combat infectious plant
diseases and regulate plant growth. Further chapters focus on the
role of signaling during the different stages of plant microbe
coexistence, in symbiotic or pathogenic relationships, in quorum
sensing and plant viral infections. Methods for studying the
interactions in the root zone complement the book, which will
certainly be of relevance in the practical application to
agriculture, food security and for maintaining the balance of our
ecosystems.

Recent progress in molecular biology and biotechnology is impacting
the life sciences as well as the lives of people in unprecedented
ways. Plant genetic transformation and molecular marker
technologies have led to a paradigm shift in plant genetic resource
management and crop improvement. Granting patent protection to
genes has not only provided incentive for gene discovery and placed
monetary value on germplasm resources, but also raised concerns
about ownership and access to genetic resources. This book is an
outcome of the presentations made during Dr. B.P. Pal Birth
Centenary Symposium organized by the National Academy of
Agricultural Sciences (NAAS), New Delhi, India, in February 2006.
It begins with the commemorative lectures, which trace the
evolution of approaches to the search for new genes in the last
seven decades, since the seminal article written by Dr. B.P. Pal on
the 'Search for new genes' in 1936. The book provides a
comprehensive update of the modern biotechnological options for
biodiversity management, gene prospecting, development of 'designer
crops' and bioremediation. The power of molecular genetics in
dissection of complex biological processes, and the potential
utility of the knowledge that links genes to metabolic pathways and
phenotypes for plant improvement are highlighted. The book covers
strategies for harnessing the community and individual knowledge
for genetic resource management and gene discovery, and presents
models for benefit sharing and participatory plant breeding.
Written by eminent experts in the field, the book shall be of
significant interest not only to the academic and research
community worldwide, but also to the policy makers and science
administrators.
