Mycorrhizal Technology: Managing Plant Stress and Mitigating Climate Change Using Mycorrhizae
Editat de Jeyabalan Sangeetha, Abdel Rahman Mohammad Al-Tawaha, Devarajan Thangaduraien Limba Engleză Hardback – 9 ian 2024
It examines the recent research studies based on mycorrhizal technology that have explored the positive impact of root symbiosis on plant adaptation to climate-associated abiotic stressors, such as salinity, drought, flooding, and high temperatures.
The book includes thirteen chapters, partitioned into four different parts, authored by international experts and researchers from different domains of plant-mycorrhiza research. Part I explains the role of mycorrhiza in plant growth, in the metabolism of minerals, and in biological control.
The book goes on to discuss the extensive commercial applications of mycorrhiza fungi in various industrial sectors including agriculture, horticulture, and biotechnology. Chapters investigate the diverse roles of mycorrhizal fungi in managing different stress conditions. And lastly, the volume provides in-depth analyses of the ways that commercialized mycorrhizal technology can help to maintain global environmental sustainability and food security.
Key features:
- Reveals the complex associations of mycorrhizal communities with soil and other soil microbes
- Presents the inoculum production practices for appropriate application of mycorrhizal technology in various plant production systems
- Discusses the commercial harvesting and applications of mycorrhizal forest trees for sustainable agricultural development, and
- Reviews the current advancements and upcoming challenges on way of mycorrhizal technology
