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.
