The Chemical Dialogue Between Plants and Beneficial Microorganisms

Book excerpt: The Chemical Dialogue Between Plants and Beneficial Microorganisms provides foundational insights on plant beneficial microorganisms and their impact on the health and productivity of plants. Providing in-depth and recent updates about unexplored aspects of plant microbes interactions, the book includes the biological repertoire of arbuscular mycorrhizal association, molecular architecture of Rhizobium-plant symbiosis, and endophytes in transcriptional plasticity during host colonization by endophytes. The book also includes details about the mechanism of different plant beneficial microorganisms, how these differ, and their cross signaling. This book will be an important reference for researchers working on different plant beneficial microorganisms and their molecular arsenal. - Includes coverage of oxylipins?and sterols in inducing systemic responses - Explores the role of microbes in transcriptional plasticity of host plants - Highlights the biology of vegetative cells, N2-fixing vesicles, and microbial volatiles in plant growth
