Employing several genetically developed models (N2-fixing legume nodules, arbuscular mycorrhizae, rhizospheric associations), this book demonstrates that, in order to meet the diverse environmental challenges, land plants use various nutritional and defensive symbioses with bacteria and fungi.

Using several genetically developed models (N2-fixing legume nodules, arbuscular mycorrhizae, rhizospheric associations) this new book demonstrates that in order to meet the diverse environmental challenges, land plants use a variety of nutritional and defensive symbioses with bacteria and fungi. These symbioses involve the co-operative partners' developmental programs resulted in establishing the convenient niches for microbes on the plant surfaces (in rhizosphere and rhizoplane), in tissues (inter-cellular spaces, tissue cavities) and sometimes inside the cells (symbiosomes) wherein the microbial co-habitants are hosted, managed using the multiple signalling circuits and provided with the optimal conditions for expressing their host-beneficial traits (nutrition, protection from pasts and competitors).

Introduction; Legume-rhizobia root nodule symbiosis (RNS); Arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM); Molecular genetics of RNS & AM; Associations with plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR); Conclusion & prospects; Index.
