Microbiome Nano-Cross-Talk: Sustainable Agriculture and Beyond presents a comprehensive overview of the functional aspects of multiphasic microbial and nanotechnological interactions within and between plants and their ecosystem. Recognizing that beneficial microbes are involved in plant growth promotion, this book highlights their mechanism and regulation to enhance plant’s yield and development even under stressed conditions. The merging of nanotechnology with microbiology is an essential aspect of this book. Various nanomaterials, their synthesis approaches as well as applications in agriculture have been studied extensively in past years. With a focus on focus the morphological, anatomical, biochemical, molecular and gene expression levels of plant growth promotion, the book is the first of its kind to enable scientists to unravel the different pathways and signaling cascades involved in response to this interaction and to understanding how nanomaterials regulate the plant-microbe associations. It critically examines the role of beneficial microbes in conjunction with nanoparticles in plants and the mechanisms adopted by the plants at the biochemical and molecular levels to enhance plant growth and mitigate various stresses.

Dr. Kanchan Vishwakarma has expertise in plant-nanoparticle and plant-microbe interactions. She has experience in assessing the whole microbial diversity of plant by high throughput metagenomic approach under external stimuli. She has worked on optimization, synthesis and characterization of nanoparticles and tested their impact on plants with emphasis on regulatory detoxification pathways. She has explored the utilization of beneficial microbes, phytohormones and nanoparticles with respect to plant growth and published number of research and review articles in journals of repute such as Journal of Hazardous Materials, Critical Reviews in Biotechnology, Frontiers in Plant Science, Frontiers in Microbiology and numerous book chapters. Dr. Nitin Kumar has expertise in synthesising different types of nanomaterials ranging from nanoparticles to nanorods, nanostars of variety of metals and their characterization. He has also developed an electrochemical immunosensor of gold nanoparticles and gold nanorods for detection of antigens and published articles in international reputed journals. He has also worked in collaboration with other scientists in the field of plant-microbe interaction.
