This book unravels the fascinating, unseen world of plant life—a vibrant community of cooperation, competition, and survival. Explore the supportive fungal networks that help plants thrive and the parasites that wage biochemical warfare to drain resources from their victims.
This book delves into the fascinating and often unseen dynamics of plant life. It unravels the complex relationships plants share with fungi and parasitic organisms, shedding light on a world teeming with cooperation, competition, and survival.
At the book’s heart lies an exploration of mycology, the study of fungi, and parasitology as they intersect with Botany. Readers will journey into the intricate web of fungal networks that support plant growth, from mycorrhizal fungi facilitating nutrient exchange to endophytes bolstering plant resilience against stress. This book also delves into the more ominous elements of plant existence, showcasing how parasites such as mistletoe, dodder, and nematodes conduct biochemical warfare to drain resources from their unwilling victims.
Written for science enthusiasts, researchers, and environmentalists, the book offers an accessible yet profound look into the interconnectedness of life below and above the soil, inviting readers to rethink their perception of plant mycorrhizal association, not as solitary organisms but as players in a vibrant, competitive, and collaborative community.
This book explores the Mississippi River’s influence on the Northern Gulf of Mexico. This highly productive coastal region, home to the most extensive marsh communities in the US, is eroding and stressed by excess nutrients and the Macondo oil leak as remediation is problematic.
This book highlights the importance of hygiene in the food industry with regard to biofilms. Good hygiene practices can increase product shelf-life and improve food safety. This book provides essential information on biofilm detection methods, prevention, and control strategies.
Bacterial biofilms cause difficult-to-treat chronic infections, particularly on medical devices. This book focuses on emerging research into biofilm formation and highlights anti-biofilm strategies to curb these infections and combat antimicrobial resistance.
