Bacteria-Plant Interactions

Today, food security has become an urgent major global challenge. One area of research that aims to aid the production of sufficient safe and nutritious food has focused on the plant-microbe interaction. Understanding this is an important prerequisite for the development of strategies to protect plants from pathogens and/or to prevent contamination of food with human pathogens. In this book, a team of scientists review the most important current topics to provide a timely overview on bacterial-plant interactions.
