In recent years, great advances have been made in nearly all fields of plant sciences. Frontiers in Plant Sciences is an attempt to bring all these different aspects together in one volume. The present volume contains a wide range of articles on the taxonomy of fungi, microbial ecology, and applied microbiology (including aerobiology, mycorrhizae, soil rhizosphere, microflora, and biological control of plant diseases). Algae and aquatic angiosperms have also been discussed. Comprehensive and concise, it offers a detailed overview of applied aspects of botany in terms of its theoretical, methodological, and empirical contributions. With emphasis on interdisciplinary features, it highlights the links between the diverse research paradigms. All those interested in the pursuit of plant sciences will find this volume useful and stimulating.
