Plant-Microbe Interactions in the Rhizosphere.

Intro -- Contents -- Preface -- CHAPTER 1 You Are What You Can Find to Eat: Bacterial Metabolism in the Rhizosphere -- CHAPTER 2 Role of Plasmids in Plant-Bacteria Interactions -- CHAPTER 3 Plant Immunity: The MTI-ETI Model and Beyond -- CHAPTER 4 Endofungal Bacteria Increase Fitness of their Host Fungi and Impact their Association with Crop Plants -- CHAPTER 5 Plant-Nematode Interactions Assisted by Microbes in the Rhizosphere -- CHAPTER 6 Apple Replant Disease: Causes and Mitigation Strategies.

In this volume expert authors review current research on diverse aspects of the interactions which occur in the rhizosphere between the host plant and the microorganisms. The chapters focus on specific phenomena, from the biochemical and genetical level to complex inter-organism communication. The authors provide valuable insights into phenomena which are exemplary for diverse types of interaction and highlight emerging research providing important new insights into the interaction networks. Topics include: bacterial metabolism in the rhizosphere, the role of plasmids, plant immunity, the MTI-ETI model, endofungal bacteria, plant-nematode interactions, and apple replant disease. This excellent volume is recommended for anyone involved in plant science or environmental microbiology and is indispensable for scientists working in the areas of soil microbiology and plant-microbe interactions.
