Due to the success of the original Research Topic and the following Volume II, we have decided to launch a Volume III of “Plant Microbiome: Interactions, Mechanisms of Action, and Applications”. The relationship between plants and their surroundings, especially those plant-microbe interactions with a beneficial output, remain the center of considerable attention. Plants depend on their microbiomes for multifarious life-supporting activities, including nutrient acquisition and augmentation of their defense systems against biotic and abiotic stresses. The interactions between a plant and its microbiome are highly complex and dynamic in nature. The plant immune system in particular is thoug...
Wolbachia is likely the most successful endosymbiotic bacteria associated with insects and other arthropods, as well as nematodes. Over the past several decades, its widespread presence across the vast range of arthropod in the terrestrial ecosystem, as well as its various biological attributes, have caused an explosive development in Wolbachia research. These include the induction of striking reproductive phenotypes, namely cytoplasmic incompatibility, male-killing, parthenogenesis induction, and feminization; obligatory and conditional beneficial fitness consequences such as nutrient provisioning and resistance to parasites, pathogens and viruses; essentiality for host growth, development ...

Technologies in today’s society are rapidly developing at a pace that is challenging to stay up to date with. As an increasing number of global regions are implementing smart methods and strategies for sustainable development, they are continually searching for modern advancements within computer science, sensor networks, software engineering, and smart technologies. A compilation of research is needed that displays current applications of computing methodologies in the progression of global cities and how smart technologies are being utilized. Sensor Network Methodologies for Smart Applications is a collection of innovative research on the methods of intelligent systems and technologies and their various applications within sustainable development practices. While highlighting topics including machine learning, network security, and optimization algorithms, this book is ideally designed for researchers, scientists, developers, programmers, engineers, educators, policymakers, geographers, planners, and students seeking current research on smart technologies and sensor networks.
Due to the alarming increase in human population and global food demand, farmers are looking for a better option that can provide them huge benefits within a short period of time. The use of chemical pesticides, fungicides, or other chemical fertilizers altogether causes a huge adverse impact on the environment. Using environmentally safe elicitor molecules can solve this problem in two ways. First, their application is a cost-effective process, which can provide maximum benefit to the farmers. Second, they are safe to apply directly to the environment. Key features of the book: 1) It covers a vast area of research undertaken on elicitation processes. 2) It comprises both biotic and abiotic ...
