Hardcover. This book provides information on the plant-microbe interactions which hold vital implications for addressing the global challenges of climate change, food security and environmental conservation. It also delves into the interconnectedness within the microbial world and its association with plants. The phenomenon of quorum sensing, a bacterial communication method that facilitates collective decision-making, has been discussed as well. The authors illustrate how these mechanisms enable soil microbes to engage in symbiotic relationships with plants, thereby promoting broader environmental sustainability goals. Facing the pressing global issue of climate change, the book elucidates the impact of these symbiotic relationships on climate regulation, tracing how these interactions influence the carbon cycle and greenhouse gases balance. This contributed volume thus weaves a compelling narrative that combines scientific knowledge with the global sustainable development goals.The book is useful for scholars and researchers working in microbiology, botany, ecology, and environmental sciences. This book provides information on the plant-microbe interactions which hold vital implications for addressing the global challenges of climate change, food security and environmental conservation.
