Book excerpt: Sustainable Agriculture: Advances in Plant Metabolome and Microbiome focuses on the advancement of basic and applied research related to plant-microbe interaction and their implementation to progressive agricultural sustainability. Simultaneous metabolome-signaling, or two-way communication study, is a challenging and emerging area that will provide new opportunities for providing an understanding of plant-microbe interaction. Comparing the metabolome or microbiome among some key groups of the same phylas could reveal host-driven differences in plant microbe symbiosis-however, nowadays these interactions can be engineered using advanced techniques and tools to increase heritability as well as to target breeding approaches to boost agricultural industry. The book also highlights the developing area of bioinformatics tools for the interpretation of metabolome. The assimilation of metabolome data with metagenomics through a systemic approach will provide a holistic overview of the total microbiome and metabolome assembly. The integration of statistical and bioinformatics tools to manage huge generating data, metabolite profiling, and key signalling-driven substances, will be vital in developing a sustainable consortium and determining the role of key biosynthetic pathways. Focused on selecting positive and effective interactive core-microbiome which will be adaptive and sustainable both phenotypically and genotypically, Sustainable Agriculture: Advances in Plant Metabolome and Microbiome will help researchers further improve the quality and productivity of crops through sustainable agriculture. Details the two-way interactive approach to both plants and microbes Describes setting up core and functional microbiomes Presents the relationship of metabolomics and biocontrol
