This collection comprises 23 selected peer-reviewed articles on modern achievements in plant and microbial biotechnologies and their natural interplay – plant-microbe interactions. It demonstrates how scientific data shape the future of related industrial fields, e.g. agriculture, medicine and pharmaceutics, food and feedstuff production and storage, etc. Highly interdisciplinary research in these areas includes genetical, biochemical and physicochemical methodologies, all of which are represented in this collection.
This diversity of practice-oriented approaches makes the collection a useful source of information to both researchers and practitioners in broad biotechnology-related fields. It will definitely be helpful also to students of various biology-related specialties by showing the broad applicability of basic biotechnological knowledge for practical needs.
The primary market for this title includes researchers working in broad basic fields of microbial and plant physiology and biochemistry, plant-microbe interactions, and also practitioners in applied fields such as agricultural microbiology, microbial and plant biotechnology, biofertilisers, food/feedstuff production, etc.
