Abstract

Diversity exists among all kinds of microorganisms. As evolution preceded new kinds of microorganisms appeared. The structural, functional and genetic diversity of any cell represents its evolutionary event.  Both culturable and non-culturable (metagenomic) bacteria play a significant role in human welfare. They have multifarious functions, as effective as other synthetic agents applied in agro-ecosystem. The various facets of bacterial diversity are presented in relation to their emergence in agriculture in this volume entitled “Bacterial Diversity in Sustainable Agriculture”.

Abstract

Excessive use of agrochemicals such as fertilizers and pesticides have some substantial benefits in enhancing crop productivity but may lead to environmental and ecological damages. Compost, the organic by-products of farming and allied industries which derive from animals and other sources is considered as the source of immense practical value for raising crops. It aids agricultural sustainability by means of various processes such as green manuring, mulching etc. Significance of compost for sustainable agriculture and the role of beneficial micro-organisms in composting processes is depicted in this volume entitled “Composting for Sustainable Agriculture”.

Abstract

The interest in eco-friendly, sustainable and organic farming cater high yield and quality in sustainable agriculture so as to relieve food scarcity. The plant growth and health promoting bacteria (PGHPR) are able to produce phytohormones and biosurfactants as effector metabolites in plant- microbe interactions and phyto-stimulation for their exploitation in agro-ecosystem. Bacterial phytohormones and biosurfactants are vital for plant growth and development, trigger nutrient availability, root colonization and imparting protection from phytopathogens in rhizosphere. This volume entitled “Bacterial Metabolites in Sustainable Agroecosystem” depicts various aspects of bacterial metabolites overtook on quest of research and concept up-gradation that can build emerging paradigm of future “Green Revolution”.

Abstract

This book discusses the latest developments in our understanding of microbial endophytes, their ecology, diversity and potential biotechnological applications. It covers all the latest advances concerning the endophytic interaction of microorganisms in a wide array of plants, reported on by experts from the entire globe.  The diverse microbial community, which consists of archaeal, bacterial, fungal and protistic taxa, can be found in all plants. The endophytic lifecycle reveals how microorganisms play essential roles in plant growth, fitness and diversification. Diversity is an integral component of ecology. In soil ecology, below-ground interactions of plant and microorganisms are accomplished by endophytes, which reside in the plant’s internal tissues. The microbial world in general and endophytes in particular reflect a unique degree of genetic and functional (metabolic) diversity. Currently, significant attention is being paid to endophytic microorganisms, as their repertoire of cells and metabolites hold immense potential with regard to biotechnological applications for sustainable development. The diversity of bacterial endophytes guarantees that there are endophytes capable of forming compatible associations with all agronomically important plants, including monocots and dicots. The study of endophytes’ diverse nature in connection with biodiesel, medicinal and agriculturally important crop can lead to a better understanding of applicable facets.  The topics in this dynamic field of study are so diverse and vast. This volume will benefit all botanists, microbiologists, ecologists, plant pathologists, physiologists, agronomists, molecular biologists, environmentalists, policymakers, conservationists and NGOs working to protect species and prevent the loss of biologically significant genetic material.
