O knihe
With a focus on food safety, this book highlights the
importance of microbes in sustainable agriculture. Plants, sessile organisms that are considered
as primary producers in
the ecosystem and communicate with above- and below-ground communities that
consist of microbes, insects, and other vertebrate and invertebrate animals, are subjected to various kinds of
stress. Broadly speaking, these can be subdivided into abiotic and biotic
stresses. Plants have evolved to develop elaborate mechanisms for coping with and adapting to
the environmental stresses.
Among
other stresses, habitat-imposed biotic stress is one serious condition causing
major problems for crop
productivity. Most plants employ
plant-growth-promoting microorganisms (PGPMs) to combat and protect themselves from stresses and also
for better growth.
PGPMs
are bacteria associated with plant roots and they augment plant productivity
and immunity. They are
also defined as root-colonizing bacteria that have beneficial effects on plant growth and development. Remarkably, PGPMs including
mycorrhizae, rhizobia, and rhizobacteria (Acinetobacter, Agrobacterium,
Arthrobacter, Azospirillum, Bacillus, Bradyrhizobium, Frankia, Pseudomonas,
Rhizobium, Serratia, Thiobacillus) form associations with plant roots and
can promote plant growth by increasing plants' access to soil minerals and protecting them against pathogens.
To combat the pathogens causing different diseases and other biotic stresses, PGPMs produce a higher level of
resistance in addition to plants'
indigenous immune systems in the form of induced systemic resistance (ISR).
