This comprehensive volume provides a detailed review of current research covering different modes of interaction between microbes and plants. Included among the interactions examined are the symbiotic association of Rhizobium, Azorhizobium and Frankia with different plant systems disease resistance strategies for plants the role of the agrobacterium system in the formation of tumors, and oligosaccharides produced as a result of the degradation of plant microbial extracellular matrix.
