Plant-Microbe Interaction - Recent Advances in Molecular and Biochemical Approaches:

Overview of Biochemical and Physiological Alteration During Plant-Microbe Interaction,Volume One explores the intricate role of plant microbes and their dynamic interaction with plants. These beneficial microbes, commonly referred to as plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), possess the remarkable ability to enhance induced systemic resistance in the plant host through a biochemical reaction. This reaction can occur indirectly by combating phytopathogens or directly by solubilizing mineral nutrients, resulting in the production of phytohormones and specific enzymes like 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate deaminase.

The book delves into comprehensive biochemical processes encompassing the physiological, metabolic, and other intricate aspects of plant and microbe interactions. It also delves into the biochemistry of biological systems, the interplay between biological systems above-ground or within the rhizosphere, and the historical development of growth-promoting microbiomes. These microbiomes play pivotal roles in phytoremediation efficiency, physiological and biochemical studies, chemical communication, and signaling mechanisms.

Through its detailed examination, this volume provides valuable insights into the complex dynamics between plants and their microbial companions, shedding light on their crucial roles in agriculture, environmental sustainability, and human health. It serves as a valuable resource for researchers, students, and practitioners in the fields of plant biology, microbiology, and agriculture.
