The role of microbiomes in regulating physiological processes in animals has received significant attention in recent years, while the plant microbiome remains largely unexplored. Core Microbiome: Improving Crop Quality and Productivity aims to address this gap by providing a comprehensive summary of the microbial communities that comprise the plant microbiome. Extensive evidence suggests that these communities play a vital role in disease control, enhanced nutrient acquisition, and stress tolerance, which are increasingly important in the face of climate change.

Furthermore, a focus on improving the interaction of core microbiomes to enhance their adaptability and sustainability is crucial for improving crop quality and productivity. The book offers detailed descriptions of the basic structure and functions of core microbiomes across various habitats, as well as highlighting emerging trends and technological innovations that utilize core microbiomes to harness plant microbiome interaction. Additionally, it covers the structure, classification, and biotechnological applications of aquatic core microbiomes, providing valuable insights into this field.

Core Microbiome serves as a comprehensive introduction to the interaction between core microbiomes and plant productivity, making it an ideal resource for researchers and scientists working in environmental science, environmental engineering, and agriculture. By understanding the role of microbiomes in crop health and productivity, we can develop innovative strategies to promote sustainable agriculture and mitigate the impact of climate change on food security.
