Microbes for Legume Improvement

Microbes for Legume Improvement provides comprehensive information on concepts of microbial technology for the improvement of legumes grown in different agro-ecosystems. The role of microbes including symbiotic nitrogen fixers, asymbiotic nitrogen fixing bacteria (like Azotobacter/Azospirillum), plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), phosphate-solubilizing microbes, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and biocontrol agents in the improvement of both conventional and forage legumes growth is discussed. Furthermore, recent findings of legume-pathogen and legume-rhizobial interactions and proteomic analysis of legume microbe interactions are addressed.
