PGPR Amelioration in Sustainable Agriculture: Food Security and Environmental Management explores the growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) that are indigenous to soil and plant rhizosphere. These microorganisms have significant potential as important tools for sustainable agriculture. PGPR enhance the growth of root systems and often control certain plant pathogens. As PGPR amelioration is a fascinating subject, is multidisciplinary in nature, and concerns scientists involved in plant heath and plant protection, this book is an ideal resource that emphasizes the current trends of, and probable future of, PGPR developments. Chapters incorporate both theoretical and practical aspects and may serve as baseline information for future research.
This book will be useful to students, teachers and researchers, both in universities and research institutes, especially working in areas of agricultural microbiology, plant pathology and agronomy.
Presents new concepts and current development in PGPR research and evaluates the implications for sustainable productivity
Describes the role of multi-omics approaches in establishing an understanding of plant–microbe interactions that help plants optimize abiotic stresses
Incorporates both theoretical and practical aspects, and will serve as a baseline for future research
Researchers in applied agricultural biotechnology, microbiology and soil science, and also for industry personnel in these areas
1. Ecology and diversity of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria in agricultural landscape
2. Molecular basis of plant–microbe interaction
