Details: Decoding Plant-Environment-Microbiome Interactions in Stress-Resilient Agriculture delivers both foundational understanding and forward-looking perspectives on the rapidly advancing field of phyto-microbiome research. Showcasing the unique advantages of microbial partnerships in stressed soils, the book explores how optimizing plant–microbiome interactions can transform crop productivity and sustainability.

Focusing on the phyto-microbiome’s diverse components―including root-associated microbiota, plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria, endophytes, phosphate-solubilizing microorganisms, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, and actinomycetes―the volume reveals how these microbial networks enhance plant stress tolerance, rehabilitate degraded or contaminated soils, and sustain yields under adverse conditions.

Harnessing these natural bioresources effectively requires an integrated understanding of the complex crosstalk between plants and their associated microbes, from molecular signaling to ecological mechanisms. Drawing on insights from internationally recognized scientists and leading academicians, this book consolidates cutting-edge research and emerging innovations, providing readers with the knowledge needed to advance stress-resilient and environmentally sustainable agriculture. Offers actionable insights and solutions that can be applied in real-world agricultural settings Bridges multiple disciplines, including microbiology, plant biology, soil science, and environmental science Explores cost-effective and sustainable strategies for mitigating stress-induced soil degradation and improving soil health
