Inoculation Effects in the Rhizosphere: Diversity and Function

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Part of the book series: Rhizosphere Biology ((RHBIO))

Abstract

Recent advances in sequencing technologies have shown that there are a few hundred species of microorganisms associated with plants both below and above ground, with the roots being a major staging ground for the strongest functional interactions. Plants interact closely with their endophytes and with microorganisms growing on the root surface and in the rhizosphere. This plant microbiome constitutes a complementary genome in service of the plant and there is growing evidence that it can be manipulated to benefit plant growth and productivity. The most effective form of manipulation has been to use beneficial microorganisms, either singly or in combination to improve the yield by what is generally termed growth promotion or as biocontrol agents that eliminate or reduce the deleterious effects of pathogens. Until recently the ability to study the influence of the added inoculant on the other microorganisms was limited to a few members of cultured species whereas after the explosive development of sequencing technologies and bioinformatic tools there can be a more comprehensive coverage of the effects on the microbiome. This chapter discusses these developments and the emergence of analytical tools to study networks of members of microbiomes as well as mechanisms to manipulate and engineer microbiomes.
