<p><b>Improve the quality and productivity of your crops through selecting positive and effective interactive core microbiomes</b></p> <p>As microbial cells are present in overwhelming numbers in our soil, it is perhaps inevitable that microbes are found extensively in plant and animal tissue. The role of microbiomes on the regulation of physiological processes in animals has been extensively researched in recent years, but the overarching role of the plant microbiome has yet to be discovered. <p><i>Core Microbiome: Improving Crop Quality and Productivity</i> is an attempt to remediate some of that deficit, as the first book to summarize the features of microbial communities that make up the plant microbiome. There is substantial evidence that these communities are crucial in disease control, enhanced nutrient acquisition, and stress tolerance—a feature more important than ever due to climate change. A further focus on improving how core microbiomes interact so that they are both phenotypically and genotypically highly adaptive and sustainable will allow the reader to improve the quality and productivity of crops so that they may be considered sustainable agriculture. <p><i>Core Microbiome</i> readers will also find: <ul><li>Descriptions of the basic structure of core microbiomes and their functions across various habitats</li> <li>New and cutting-edge trends and technological innovations that use core microbiomes to harness plant microbiome interaction</li> <li>The structure, classification, and biotechnological applications of aquatic core microbiomes, in addition to material on plant microbiomes</li></ul> <p>As a broad introduction to the interaction of core microbiome and plant productivity, <i>Core Microbiome </i>is ideal for researchers and scientists working in the field of environmental ­science, environmental microbiology, and waste management. Similarly, undergraduate and graduate students in these fields, as well as in agriculture, biotechnology, biosciences, and life and environmental sciences, will also benefit from this work.
