Springer Plant-Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria and Medicinal Plants

Explore the complex relationship between soil biology and plant health with this professional resource from Springer. Part of the Soil Biology series, this book examines how microorganisms can be used to improve plant growth and increase the efficiency of phytochemical production. Readers will find detailed information on how PGPRs help plants manage salt stress and heavy metal tolerance. The text covers essential topics for agricultural productivity, including the prevention of plant diseases and the boosting of soil fertility. It also provides a deep look into the induction of secondary metabolite biosynthesis in medicinal and aromatic plants, helping to enhance phytochemical levels through biological means. This volume is an essential reference for those studying the action mechanisms, diversity, and characterization of PGPRs. Whether you are focused on improving agriculture productivity or understanding the biological processes behind medicinal plant development, this book offers a comprehensive review of how microorganisms shape plant health and chemical output.
