This comprehensive book delves into the intricate web of interactions between plants, soil, and microorganisms, highlighting the profound influence of soil type on plant growth and development. It explores the complex interactions established by plants with their surrounding soil and the diverse microbial community that inhabits it. The chapters provide detailed insights into how plants selectively promote specific microorganisms within the rhizosphere, a specialized region of soil, to derive a range of benefits, including nutrient acquisition and disease protection.
The diversity of rhizospheric microbes and their interactions with plants are influenced by a multitude of factors, including plant genotype, soil attributes, and abiotic and biotic conditions. While most studies on plant-microbe interactions have focused on temperate regions, tropical ecosystems are incredibly diverse and require greater attention. Therefore, understanding how soil type and climatic conditions shape the plant-soil-microbes interaction in the tropics is crucial.
The present volume aims to cover the most relevant aspects of rhizospheric microbial interactions in tropical ecosystems. It explores the diversity of rhizospheric microbes, discusses modern tools and techniques for assessing rhizospheric microbiomes, and showcases applications of rhizospheric microbes in improving agricultural practice and productivity through microbiome technologies.
This book is of immense interest to microbiologists, plant biologists, and ecologists alike, as it sheds light on the vital role of microorganisms in plant health and productivity. It provides valuable insights into the complex dynamics between plants, soil, and microorganisms and offers potential solutions for sustainable agriculture and environmental management.
