This book addresses all the major mechanisms by which endophytes
are thought to impact plant growth and health. A unique aspect of
this publication is that it is multidisciplinary, covering plant
microbiology, plant physiology, fungal and bacterial endophytes,
plant biochemistry, and genomics. Just as research on the mammalian
microbiome has demonstrated its importance for overall health of
the host, the plant microbiota is essential for plant health in
natural environments. Endophytes, the microorganisms living fully
within plants, can provide a multitude of benefits to the host
including N-fixation, P solubilization, increased photosynthetic
efficiency and water use efficiency, stress tolerance, pathogen
resistance, and overall increased growth and health. A variety of
culturable endophytes have been isolated and shown to be
mutualistic symbionts with a broad range of plant species. These
studies point to the functional importance of the microbiota of
plants and suggest the potential for tailoring plant microbiota for
improved vigor and yields with reduced inputs. This review covers
the major benefits of microbial endophytes to plants and discusses
the implications of using symbiosis as an alternative to chemical
inputs for agriculture, forestry, and bioenergy.
