Plant-microbiome Interactions for Climate-resilient Agriculture
This book provides research-based advancements into the effects of changing environmental conditions on the diverse plant-symbiont community. It summarizes the mechanisms employed by the microorganisms to improve plant tolerance towards the extreme climatic conditions. These mechanisms include metabolite exchange and metabolic cross-talk in the microbiome-root-shoot-environment nexus. This book also describes the recently discovered phenomenon, systematically-induced root exudation of metabolites, which explains how the rhizosphere microbiome governs the plant metabolism by inducing a systemic shift in root exudate metabolites. This book is then concluded by highlighting the role of advanced meta-omics tools and systemic metabolic engineering approaches in generating climate-resilient crops and microbes to tackle the cumulative degradation of soil health in agro-ecosystems. This book is a reference for students, researchers and policymakers working in the field of microbiology, soil science, plant science, climate change and sustainable agriculture.

Chapter coverage includes: the role of the phytomicrobiome in maintaining biofuel crop production in a changing climate; the impact of agriculture on soil microbial community composition and diversity in southeast Asia; climate change impact on plant diseases; microalgae; photosynthetic microorganisms and bioenergy prospects; amelioration of abiotic stresses in plants through multi-faceted beneficial microorganisms; role of methylotrophic bacteria in climate change mitigation; conservation agriculture for climate change resilience; archaeal community structure; mycorrhiza-helping plants to navigate environmental stresses; endophytic microorganisms; bacillus thuringiensis; and microbial nanotechnology for climate resilient agriculture. Clear and succinct chapters contributed and edited by leaders in the field Covers microbes' beneficial and detrimental roles in the microbiome, as well as the functions they perform under stress Discusses the crop microbiome, nutrient cycling microbes, endophytes, mycorrhizae, and various pests and diseases, and their roles in sustainable farming Places research in larger context of climate change's effect on global agriculture Microbes for Climate Resilient Agriculture is an important text for scientists and researchers studying microbiology, biotechnology, environmental biology, agronomy, plant physiology, and plant protection.
Advances in Plant Microbiome Research for Climate-Resilient Agriculture
This new book, Advances in Plant Microbiome Research for Climate-Resilient Agriculture: Toward Sustainable Farming, covers important aspects of plant microbiome research through contributions from scientists with the latest information available in this area of research. The book provides an introduction to the concept of plant microbiome and its importance for climate-resistant crop plants and discusses the tools and techniques to analyze plant microbiome for sustainable agriculture productivity. It covers microbial endophytes as warriors for plant defense against abiotic and biotic stress. The book also highlights the importance of phyto-microbiomes and presents an overview of the role of metabolomics in bioremediation for sustainable crop production, introducing various metabolomics tools such as GC-MS, LC-MS, and NMR for the sustainable remediation of toxic pollutants from the environment. Web sources and software for metabolomics data interpretation are included as well. The book discusses abiotic and biotic stresses and their effects on crops, the concept and strategies of the rhizosphere microbiome manipulation in crop improvement, the microbial traits in plant stress tolerance and their importance for agriculture, exogenous applications of several compounds and phyto-microbiomes that mitigate the negative effects of salt stress on maize, and the beneficial plant microbial association for sustainable agriculture. With its coverage of the recent research on the current methods and technological advancements for increasing plant resilience to adverse climate scenarios, this volume will be a rich resource for botanists, plant specialists, and researchers concerned with crop science, plant physiology, and plant protection.
