Preface
Plants provide an excellent ecosystem for microorganisms that interact withplant
cells and tissues with differing degrees of dependence. Investigation on the rela-
tionship between roots and microbiota are essential to achieve innovations in
agriculture and biotechnology. Similar to other industries, one such system is
adoption of biological agents in the form of Plant Growth Promoting Bacteria
(PGPB).Thesegroupsofbacteriaareaseffectiveaspurechemicalonplantgrowth
enhancement and disease control besides managing abiotic and other stresses in
plants. Such organisms are now alternative paradigms for commercialization.
Seeing the importance of these bacteria in the protection of plant health, new
biotechnological approachesare employedregulatingtodevelopnewer andmuch
bettermicrobialagentsformanagementofthephytopathogens.
This volume of the Microbiology Monographseries has18 chapters thatcover
various facets ofcurrent scientific knowledgeonPGPBthatcolonizethe rootand
rhizosphere.Bacillus-andPaenibacillus-basedbioinoculantformulationshavemet
withgreatsuccessinimprovingplantgrowth.AlargenumberofPGPBgeneraon
one hand and rhizobia and few endophytes on the other promise benefit to crop
ecosystem for sustainable agriculture. A due account is provided with respect to
basic concept on plant–bacteria interaction, mineral–nutrient exchange, biofilm
formation, and bacteria inhabiting in harsh and cold tropical environment and
their role in ethylene regulation via ACC deaminase, as well as the mechanisms
ofactionofPGPB-mediatedantifungals.Inrelationtoplanthealth,theexploitation
of such beneficial bacteria may improve agriculture system with economically
soundproductionofhumanfoodandanimalfeed.
