Springer Microbiome in Plant Health and Disease - Springer

Microbiome in Plant Health and Disease explores the intricate relationships between plants and their microbial communities, revealing how these associations fundamentally influence plant wellbeing and productivity. This Springer publication examines the mechanisms through which plant microbiomes regulate immunity, combat disease, manage environmental stress, and optimise growth performance. The book presents the microbiome as an additional plant genome functioning as an integrated organ system, unlocking new perspectives on plant-microbe interactions. Readers gain insights into both the scientific challenges and practical opportunities these microbial ecosystems present for sustainable agriculture and plant management, making it essential reading for researchers, botanists, agronomists and agricultural professionals seeking to understand modern plant biology.
