Sommario/riassunto

This book will undoubtedly become a reference in Knowledge Management because of its pragmatic approach of occupational training strongly underpinned by a clear and complete theoretical contribution. – Jean-Claude Granry, Emeritus Professor, University of Angers, France, Former Director of the Anesthesiology & Resuscitation dept. at the University Hospital of Angers, France, Former Head Manager of the Health Training Center of Angers, France This contribution sheds a new light on Knowledge Management and competencies; an expert and practical contribution for training. – Philippe Kessler, Managing Director / CEO at INTRA Robotics, Chinon NPP, France It is an interesting book that will be of interest to company managers and directors. It covers various professional domains. – Guillaume Alinier, Professor at the University of Hertfordshire, UK, Director of Research for Hamad Medical Corporation Ambulance Service, Qatar, Adjunct Professor of Education in Medicine, Weill Cornell Medicine, Qatar As highly skilled workers retire, what happens to their



wealth of experience? This book explores the concept of skills drain, looking at how key competencies can be identified and then transferred from experienced workers to novices. It looks at the innovative solutions managers are seeking to ensure that their workers are sufficiently trained, and then develops a protocol for doing so. Founded in academic theory, but with applications for practice, this book presents case studies and research in a valuable addition to the field of management. It will be a useful reading for academics studying high-risk industries, management and organization, as well as practitioners. Philippe Fauquet-Alekhine is Scientific Director at INTRA Robotics, former Consultant and Researcher at Chinon Nuclear Power Plant, France, an expert in Innovative Development for Operational Professionalization, and a member of the SEBE-Lab at LSE, UK. He is the author of many scientific articles, and has co-edited several books.

Sommario/riassunto

Microbes are ubiquitous in nature. Among microbes, fungal communities play an important role in agriculture, the environment, and medicine. Vast fungal diversity has been found in plant systems. The fungi associated with any plant system are in the form of epiphytic, endophytic, and rhizospheric fungi. These associated fungi play important roles in plant growth, crop yield, and soil health. The rhizospheric fungi present in rhizospheric zones have a sufficient amount of nutrients released by plant root systems in the form of root exudates for growth, development, and activities of microbes. Endophytic fungi enter in host plants mainly through wounds that naturally occur as a result of plant growth, or develop through root hairs and at epidermal conjunctions. The phyllospheric fungi may survive or proliferate on leaves, depending on the extent of influences of material in leaf diffuseness or exudates. The diverse group of fungal communities is a key component of soil-plant systems, where they are engaged in an intense network of interactions in the rhizospheric, endophytic, and phyllospheric areas, and they have emerged as an important and promising tool for sustainable agriculture. These fungal communities help to promote plant growth directly or indirectly by mechanisms for plant growth-promoting (PGP) attributes. These PGP fungi can be used as biofertilizers, bioinoculants, and biocontrol agents in place of chemical fertilizers and pesticides in an environmentally and eco-friendly manner. This book covers the current knowledge of plant-associated fungi and their potential biotechnological applications in agriculture and allied sectors. This book should be useful to scientists, researchers, and students of microbiology, biotechnology, agriculture, molecular biology, environmental biology, and related subjects.
