      abstract = {This book addresses a very important aspect of microbial  ecology that has direct relevance to crop productivity. The  soil zone under the direct influence of roots, or  rhizosphere, is known for very intense microbial activities  that include interactions with plants and other organisms.  Many a times, these interactions are very specific and  dictated by exchange of signaling molecules, broadly known  as the cross-talk. This book covers our recent  understanding of the mechanisms of plant-microbe cross-talk  in the rhizosphere. In addition, it delves into the subject  of how such interactions can influence plant health. The  book opens with an overview of plants interaction with, and  indeed influence on, their microbiome. Both beneficial and  disease-causing microbes inhabit the soil. Wilt-causing  fungi are discussed here as an example of soilborne disease  as well as insights on sustainable ways to control it.  There are chapters related to beneficial rhizosphere  residents like Trichoderma, pseudomonads and mycorrhizae,  many of which are commercially used in agriculture, and  also a specialized chapter on how to effectively deliver  such plant-beneficial microbes through seed coating. The  book concludes with a chapter on fungal effector proteins,  some of which can be used to modulate plant defense against  pests and pathogens.},
