Application of Molecular Ecology Approaches in Sustainable Agriculture for a Better Understanding of Plant–Microbiome Interactions

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Rhizosphere Microbes

Part of the book series: Microorganisms for Sustainability ((MICRO,volume 40))

Abstract

Plants are exposed to a natural habitat where the plants interact in diverse ways with their natural environment. To study the mechanisms of defense in the plants, microbes and their communities are given positive responses on the host. These beneficial responses include nutrient acquisition, resistance against plant pathogens, abiotic stress like drought, salinity, heat, and accelerated plant growth. Incredibly, in beneficial and pathogenic microbes, most of the other signals that induce plant immune responses are remarkably molecularly similar and sometimes identical. Therefore, it is uncertain which influences the results of direct interactions between the microbe and host, and the variables that allow plants to differentiate benefits from pathogens. Comprehensive approaches to empirical systems biology would be required to uncover the dynamic network of microbial, genetic, and metabolic interactions, such as the signaling pathways resolving microbe–host interactions.
