Seed Endophytes Biology and Biotechnology

Seed Endophytes Biology and Biotechnology / edited by Satish Kumar Verma, James Francis White, Jr.

This book focuses on the importance and roles of seed microbiomes in sustainable agriculture by exploring the diversity of microbes vectored on and within seeds of both cultivated and non-cultivated plants. It provides essential insights into how seeds can be adapted to enhance microbiome vectoring,...
