This book discusses the latest developments in our understanding of
microbial endophytes, their ecology, diversity and potential
biotechnological applications. It covers all the latest advances
concerning the endophytic interaction of microorganisms in a wide
array of plants, reported on by experts from the entire globe. The
diverse microbial community, which consists of archaeal, bacterial,
fungal and protistic taxa, can be found in all plants. The
endophytic lifecycle reveals how microorganisms play essential
roles in plant growth, fitness and diversification. Diversity is an
integral component of ecology. In soil ecology, below-ground
interactions of plant and microorganisms are accomplished by
endophytes, which reside in the plant's internal tissues. The
microbial world in general and endophytes in particular reflect a
unique degree of genetic and functional (metabolic) diversity.
Currently, significant attention is being paid to endophytic
microorganisms, as their repertoire of cells and metabolites hold
immense potential with regard to biotechnological applications for
sustainable development. The diversity of bacterial endophytes
guarantees that there are endophytes capable of forming compatible
associations with all agronomically important plants, including
monocots and dicots. The study of endophytes' diverse nature in
connection with biodiesel, medicinal and agriculturally important
crop can lead to a better understanding of applicable facets. The
topics in this dynamic field of study are so diverse and vast. This
volume will benefit all botanists, microbiologists, ecologists,
plant pathologists, physiologists, agronomists, molecular
biologists, environmentalists, policymakers, conservationists and
NGOs working to protect species and prevent the loss of
biologically significant genetic material.
