Prokaryotic Symbionts in Plants
Endophytic prokaryotes can invade the tissue of the host plant without triggering defense reactions or disease symptoms. Instead, they promote the growth of the host plant due to their ability to fix atmospheric dinitrogen and/or to produce plant growth-p

Preface
This Microbiology Monographs volume provides a comprehensive and detailed source of information on endosymbioses between prokaryotes (eubacteria and cyanobacteria) and plants. Our first task is to thank all authors of the chapters in this volume. We greatly appreciate the investment in time and effort they have made to produce the comprehensive coverage of their topics. The book compr
