Microbiome Innovations: Advancing Sustainable Agriculture de Vijai Singh

Microbiome Innovations: Advancing Sustainable Agriculture

Editat de Vijai Singh, Indra Mani
en Limba Engleză Hardback – sep 2026
This book explores the diversity of microbiomes, ecological significance, and applications in agriculture, human health, and environmental sustainability. The introductory chapter provides state-of-the-art methods for studying microbiomes, including microscopy, culturing techniques, and molecular biology tools, while examining how AI, machine learning, and computational biology are revolutionizing microbiome research. It also covers advancements in next-generation sequencing technologies, various metagenomic approaches, and their significance in studying microbiomes and identifying genes of agricultural importance. Practical applications are explored, such as enhancing plant nutrient utilization, improving crop yields using biofertilizers, and leveraging rhizosphere microbiomes for better nutrient uptake and drought tolerance. The potential of microbiomes as biocontrol agents to manage pests and diseases is also discussed. Advanced techniques like CRISPR-Cas systems for genome editing within microbiomes are examined, along with the role of microbiomes in improving crop performance in high-altitude, high-saline, and high-temperature environments. The book concludes by addressing current challenges in microbiome research and application, highlighting future opportunities for innovation in agriculture. This book is intended for researchers and students in microbiology, agriculture, and environmental science.
