The Plant Microbiome in Sustainable Agriculture
About this book
The most up-to-date reference on phytomicrobiomes available today
The Plant Microbiome in Sustainable Agriculture combines the most relevant and timely information available today in the fields of nutrient and food security. With a particular emphasis on current research progress and perspectives of future development in the area, The Plant Microbiome in Sustainable Agriculture is an invaluable reference for students and researchers in the field, as well as those with an interest in microbiome research and development.
The book covers both terrestrial and crop associated microbiomes, unveiling the biological, biotechnological and technical aspects of research. Topics discussed include:
- Developing model plant microbiome systems for various agriculturally important crops
- Defining core microbiomes and metagenomes in these model systems
- Defining synthetic microbiomes for a sustainable increase in food production and quality
The Plant Microbiome in Sustainable Agriculture is written to allow a relative neophyte to learn and understand the basic concepts involved in phytomicrobiomes and discuss them intelligently with colleagues.
