In 15 chapters, Endophytic Association: What, Why, and How, focuses on the endophytic association of plants, how they have originated inside the host, what is their importance inside the host plants, and how they are beneficial for the environment, as well as humans, from different perspectives. Its discusses how, by using endophytic microbes, agricultural fields can be enriched without impacting the environment negatively, and how they can be utilized for pharmaceutical purposes, bioremediation. Endophytic Association: What, Why, and How, includes advanced and up-to-date information, as well as future directions for young researchers and scientists, who are working in the field of agriculture, pharmaceuticals, bio nanotechnology and bioremediation of environmental contaminants, for environmental protection and sustainable development. There is a need to provide information related to endophytic microorganisms and their applications in different fields for sustainable development. The proposed book Endophytic Association: What, Why, and How, covers all such aspects, which cannot be covered within a review paper or a research article. Details underlying mechanisms of endophyte-host association and their signalling mechanisms Describes numerous successful field studies on the different applications of nanoparticles produced by endophytes (bio-nanotechnology) for sustainable development Presents recent advances and challenges in endophyte-associated bio-remediation research and applications for human health Provides detail contributions of bioactive compounds produced by endophytes for pharmaceutical purposes Is a source of inspiration for the commercialization of endophytic microbe-based agriculture, pharmaceutics, nanotechnologies and bioremediation, for the management of environmental pollutants for sustainable development INDICE: 1.
