With increasing concerns about the environmental impact of fertilizers, there is a growing need for the sector to develop more sustainable, 'climate-smart' methods of crop production. Biostimulants have attracted growing attention since they offer the potential to enhance yields through stimulating natural processes in crops. Biostimulants for sustainable crop production provides a comprehensive review of the key advances in understanding and using biostimulants. This collection covers the major groups of biostimulants, from humic substances and seaweed extracts to protein hydrolysates and plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), as well as the practical application of biostimulants in areas such as enhancing nutrient use efficiency (NUE). With its distinguished editors and international range of expert authors, Biostimulants for sustainable crop production will be a standard reference for those researching crop nutrition, government and other bodies supporting more sustainable agriculture as well as agronomists and farmers.

"This book will present examples of chemical biology approaches that have resulted in the identification of new small chemicals with an impact on plant development and physiology, and give illustrations of how the mode of action is being studied using molecular tools. Although molecular laboratory experiments have a high discovery rate and give very detailed information on the studied processes, the interchange of field studies and that of lab scale investigations is required to narrow down the parameters that determine the effectiveness of biostimulants, something that is of great importance for the successful commercialization of these products. Examples will be given of studies that contribute to closing the gap between the lab and the field. Topics covered include: Introduction to biostimulants. Categories of biostimulants: humic acid and fulvic acid, amino acids and protein hydrolysate, seaweed extracts, chitin/chitosan/oligosaccharides, substances with hormone like activities: Small molecule identification and metabolomics: technology to detect the fate of biostimulants, chemical screens and reporter systems. Biostimulant mode of action. Biostimulant by design: in silico structure prediction. Biostimulants, a practical guide: Examples of commercial biostimulants with more or less known mode of action. The biostimulant business and agricultural scientists are showing an increased interest in investigating the mode of action of biostimulants. This book will help them to get an overview of different aspects of biostimulant research, and provide access to new approaches and methods being developed in the wake of chemical biological studies"--

Microbial Endophytes and Plant Growth: Beneficial Interactions and Applications explains how modern molecular tools can unlock the plant's microbial network, building the bridge between plant and environment. Chapters describe the usefulness of the endophytic microbiome of different crops, including cereals, vegetables and horticulture, and delve into the latest research surrounding the applications of plant-microbe interactions in improving plant growth. Other topics discussed include root endophytes and their role in plant fitness, seed associated endophytes and their functions, and microbial endophytes and nanotechnology. This is a one-stop resource for scientists wanting access to the latest research in plant microbiology. The book also provides advanced techniques for using multi-omics approaches to study plant-microbe interactions, providing readers with a practical approach.
