      abstract = {Plants and the soil they grow in, are confronted with  severe biotic and abiotic stresses viz. nutrient  starvation, salt stress, drought, flooding, xenobiotic  contamination, in order to sustain in an ecosystem. They  also shape the microbial composition in their vicinity by  modulating their secretions. This book discusses the  pressing demand for novel and potential microorganisms to  support an environment-friendly and cost-effective way of  stress management in the plants. The book summarizes the  processes and mechanisms involved in microbe-assisted plant  and soil stress management. It discusses the challenges and  opportunities in the application of microbial interactions  in plant health. It describes in detail the nutrient  dynamics of different soil systems. It includes important  topics like agriculturally important genes and enzymes,  rhizosphere modeling & engineering, genetically engineered  bio-inoculants etc. It also talks about the application of  next-generation technologies, omics and nano-based  technologies. In the recent years, more than 50% of  agricultural production relies on chemical fertilizers,  leading to serious health issues and environmental  concerns. This book provides natural solutions to these  environmental concerns. This book is useful for researchers  and students in the field of microbiology, agriculture,  soil biology and plant sciences.},
