Preface

Microbiome diversity in association with plant roots is gargantuan; the microbial number includes tens of thousands of various species. This multifaceted plant accompanying microbial population, also referred to as the integrated part of the plant, is imperative for plant health. Current progresses in plant-microbe synergism research disclosed that plants have capabilities to shape their rhizospheric microbial community. This has been substantiated by the information that dissimilar plant species host particular microbial populations even when grown in the same climatic conditions and soil. Accumulation of not good or unwanted microbiome communities in host plant leads to negative effect on plant health, on the other hand, association of beneficial and constructive microbiome community in plant leads to positive effect o
