Long description:

"

This book covers a wide range of topics, including plant genetics, stress biology, biotechnology, bioinformatics, plant-microbe interactions, microbial ecology, microbial biotechnology, crop production and management, plant breeding, and more. This book includes selected research and review articles presented in - DBT & DST-SERB (Govt. of India) sponsored International Conference on ""Advances in Plants, Microbes, and Agricultural Sciences (APMAS-2023)"" held during 02-04 March 2023 at the University of North Bengal, Siliguri, India. The book brings together leading researchers, academicians, and practitioners from various fields related to plants, microbes, and agricultural sciences to share their latest research findings and ideas. The book is a compendium of selected chapters written by experts in the field, and it aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of research and future perspectives for budding researchers. Overall, the proceedings of APMAS-2023 will serve as a valuable resource for researchers, students, and practitioners interested in the latest developments in the subject.
