Publisher's Synopsis
This book will explain the physiochemical processes determining the rhizosphere as soil
and the soil compartment influenced by the activity of plant roots and the consequences
of plant nutrition. It will provide a thorough review of recent developments in plant
rhizosphere components and their interaction.
Key Features:
- Book will highlight the plant-microbe interactions responsible for the maintenance of soil fertility, plant nutrition, and also the remediation of contaminated soil for sustainable agricultural systems. Presents a compilation of current knowledge of plant-microbe interactions and the plant and microbial processes upon which they depend. The insight gained from these analyses will impact studies of plant development and responses to the environment.
- Examines the chemical changes in the rhizosphere which are associated with microbe-plant interactions and the biochemical mechanisms behind them. eBook Project Approval Meeting title information sheet v3.5
- Considers metametabolomics targeted at the phytobiome as a future approach
- aimed at unravelling the complexities of chemical communication in the rhizosphere between roots and surrounding microbes.
