商品描述
This book focuses on the importance and roles of seed microbiomes in sustainable agriculture by exploring the diversity of microbes vectored on and within seeds of both cultivated and non-cultivated plants. It provides essential insights into how seeds can be adapted to enhance microbiome vectoring, how damaged seed microbiomes can be assembled again and how seed microbiomes can be conserved.
Plant seeds carry not only embryos and nutrients to fuel early seedling growth, but also microbes that modulate development, soil nutrient acquisition, and defense against pathogens and other stressors. Many of these microbes (bacteria and fungi) become endophytic, entering into the tissues of plants, and typically exist within plants without inducing negative effects. Although they have been reported in all plants examined to date, the extent to which plants rely on seed vectored microbiomes to enhance seedling competitiveness and survival is largely unappreciated. How microbes function to increase the fitness of seedlings is also little understood.The book is a unique and important resource for researchers and students in microbial ecology and biotechnology. Further, it appeals to applied academic and industrial agriculturists interested in increasing crop health and yield.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
本書專注於種子微生物群在可持續農業中的重要性和角色，通過探索栽培植物和非栽培植物的種子上及內部的微生物多樣性。它提供了關於如何調整種子以增強微生物群的傳遞、如何重新組裝受損的種子微生物群以及如何保護種子微生物群的基本見解。
植物種子不僅攜帶胚胎和營養物質以促進早期幼苗生長，還攜帶調節發育、土壤營養獲取以及對抗病原體和其他壓力源的微生物。這些微生物（細菌和真菌）中的許多會成為內生菌，進入植物的組織，並通常在植物內部存在而不引起負面影響。儘管迄今為止在所有檢查過的植物中都有報導，但植物在多大程度上依賴種子傳遞的微生物群來增強幼苗的競爭力和生存能力仍然未受到充分重視。微生物如何增強幼苗適應性的功能也鮮有了解。
本書是微生物生態學和生物技術研究者及學生的一個獨特且重要的資源。此外，它也吸引了對提高作物健康和產量感興趣的應用學術和工業農業專家。

James White is a Professor at the Department of Plant Biology at Rutgers University, where he teaches undergraduate and graduate courses in the biology of fungi. Dr. White received B.S. and M.S. degrees from Auburn University (Alabama) in Botany and Plant Pathology, respectively, and the Ph.D. degree in Botany from the University of Texas at Austin. Dr. White has published more than 200 scientific articles and book chapters, and has edited five reference books on the topic of plant-microbe symbioses. Dr. White's research interests include the evolutionary development of microbial plant symbioses--including the study of both fossil and extant systems. Recently, together with students and collaborators, he has been examining the roles of endophytic microbes in stimulating plant development and protection from biotic and abiotic stresses.
