Plant-Microbe Interaction - Recent Advances in Molecular and Biochemical Approaches: Volume 1: Overview of Biochemical and Physiological Alteration During Plant-Microbe Interaction

Biochemistry plays a very important role in between interaction of plants and microbes. The chemical communication in between plant roots and microbes followed in a sophisticated manner within the rhizosphere. Their interaction undergoes biofilm formation with those microbes which are beneficial to plants and these interaction helps in microbe-assisted phytoremediation to adapt in metalliferous environments. These beneficial microbes such as bacteria and fungi are also known as plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), through biochemical reaction may improve induced systemic resistance in the plant host via indirectly (against phytopathogens) or directly (the solubilisation of mineral nutrients) by producing phytohormones and specific enzymes such as 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate deaminase). As we know that plant-plant and plant-microbes interactions have been studied so well over recent years but the chemical process which are involved in communication is not well known. Therefore, this book will discuss the biochemistry which occurs during the interaction and help to understand the proper mechanism of the interaction biochemical as well as molecular. The biochemical process such as physiological, metabolic, etc. of plant and microbe interactions are much different as above and below the ground. The biochemistry of biological system will help in metabolomics studies to profile endo- as well as exo-metabolites which participate and drive in physiological processes. The interaction of biological systems above-ground or within the rhizosphere highlight the assistance that biochemical approaches refers mass spectrometric-based metabolomic process will offer the study of plant-beneficial microbes interaction by knowledge of more than 100s compounds.

The book focuses on the history of growth promoting microbiomes, their roles in phytoremediation efficiency, physiological and biochemical studies, chemical communication and signalling mechanism during interactions. This volume also focuses the evolutionary studies of plant-microbe interactions.
