    Summary: The book discusses the complex interactions between plants and their associated microbial communities. It also elucidates the ways in which these microbiomes are connected with the plant system, and how they affect plant health. The different chapters describe how microbiomes affect plants with regard to immunity, disease conditions, stress management and productivity. In addition, the book describes how an additional plant genome functions as a whole organ system of the host, and how it presents both challenges and opportunities for the plant system. Moreover, the book includes a dedicated section on using omics tools to understand these interactions, and on exploiting them to their full potential.

    Sequential statistical testing of the development of the disease in the single patient was used in the assessment of immunosuppressive treatment of renal glomerular diseases. After an initial period of prednisone (P) treatment, this was supplemented first by azathioprine (A) and later in addition by cyclophosphamide (C). The time of transition from one treatment to another was determined by the result of the current statisical testing of the correlation between serum creatinine concentration and proteinuria on the one hand and the time and the varying doses of the drugs on the other. Twenty-nine patients entered the study. Thirteen were withdrawn, eight for technical reasons, three due to side-effects and two on account of renal deterioration and transfer to dialysis treatment. Eight patients were cured, one during P treatment, five during P + A, and two during the combination of P, A and C. Eight patients completed treatment without being cured. In the overall material no statistically significant change in serum creatinine was noted, whereas the proteinuria decreased during P + A and P + A + C. No dose-dependent therapeutic effect of the drugs was demonstrated. In conclusion, this combined treatment with P, A and C did not seem to yield any major therapeutic progress. The technic of sequential statistical testing may be a useful tool in clinical research.
