In recent years there has been significant attention paid on the
endophytic research by various groups working within this domain.
Mutualistic endophytic microbes with an emphasis on the relatively
understudied fungal endophytes are the focus of this special book.
Plants are associated with micro-organisms: endophytic bacteria and
fungi, which live inter- and intra-cellularly without inducing
pathogenic symptoms, but have active biochemical and genetic
interactions with their host. Endophytes play vital roles as plant
growth promoters, biocontrol agents, biosurfactant producers,
enzymes and secondary metabolite producers, as well as providing a
new hidden repertoire of bioactive natural products with uses in
pharmaceutical, agrochemical and other biotechnological
applications. The increasing interest in endophytic research
generates significant progress in our understanding of the
host-endophyte relationship at molecular and genetic level. The
bio-prospection of microbial endophytes has led to exciting
possibilities for their biotechnological application as biocontrol
agent, bioactive metabolites, and other useful traits. Apart from
these virtues, the microbial endophytes may be adapted to the
complex metabolism of many desired molecules that can be of
significant industrial applications. These microbes can be a useful
alternative for sustainable solutions for ecological control of
pests and diseases, and can reduce the burden of excess of chemical
fertilizers for this purpose. This book is an attempt to review the
recent development in the understanding of microbial endophytes and
their potential biotechnological applications. This is a collection
of literature authored by noted researchers having signatory status
in endophytic research and summarizes the development achieved so
far, and future prospects for further research in this fascinating
area of research."
