Plant, Soil and Microbes Volume 2: Mechanisms and Molecular Interact

The interactions between the plant, soil, and microbes are very complex in nature and may be antagonistic, mutualistic, or synergistic, depending upon the types of microorganisms and their association with the plant and soil. The multi-trophictactics are

Foreword

Worldwide considerable research in the area of belowground plant-microbe interaction is quite important to enrich soil fertility and in the enhancement of crop productivity. It seems imperative to understand the modifications of belowground interactions under specific plant and microbe communication system accomplished by molecular dialogues. It is, therefore, essential to decode and explore this molecular language so as to establish a successful tripartite relationship among plant, soil and microbes. The soils are the product of rocks, minerals and organic matters with a pivotal role in ecology. Most of the plants depend on soil, but plants and their associated microorganisms are also important component together in the formation and sustainability of rhizospheric ecology. The understanding about plant, soil and microbe interaction is limited; molecular mechanisms and other several consequences may reveal with other process yet to be explored. This book entitled Plant, Soil and Microbe, Volume 2: Me
