Phenolic acids are the main polyphenols made by plants. These compounds have diverse
functions and are immensely important in plant-microbe interactions/symbiosis. Phenolic …

Biological control of plant pathogens is currently accepted as a key practice in sustainable
agriculture because it is based on the management of a natural resource, ie certain …

Water Relations of Plants and Soils, successor to the seminal 1983 book by Paul Kramer,
covers the entire field of water relations using current concepts and consistent terminology …

The term mycorrhiza is used to describe a broad range of mutualistic associations formed
between plant roots and fungi. Such associations exist in the majority of land plant species …

Sustainable farming systems strive to minimise the use of synthetic pesticides and to
optimise the use of alternative management strategies to control soil‐borne pathogens …

Plants have exquisitely sensitive chemoperception systems for signal substances derived
from microorganisms. Among the microbial substances that plants can perceive at threshold …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi colonize roots of terrestrial plants and have been
hypothesized to reduce susceptibility or to improve the vigor of hosts challenged by root …

This new edition of Fungi in Ecosystem Processes continues the unique approach of
examining the roles of fungi from the perspective of ecosystem functions. It explores how …

The response of plants to arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi involves a temporal and spatial
activation of different defence mechanisms. The activation and regulation of these defences …

Exploring the role of enzymes in biogeochemical processes, this reference explores the
function, molecular biology, and biochemistry of microorganisms and their intra-and extra …
