Opis

Revised and expanded, the second edition provides comprehensive and updated treatment of recent advances in understanding the complex biochemistry of the soil-microbe-plant interaction. Adopting a molecular approach to explain biochemical processes at the soil-plant interface, new topics include the role of nutrient availability in regulating root morphology and architecture, the involvement of root membrane activities in determining and responding to nutritional conditions, and molecular signals between root-root and root-microbe as well as gene flow and the evolution of rhizosphere organisms and their co-evolution with plants.
