Among these endophytic microorganisms, endophytic fungi are one of the dominant group of microorganisms with a potential role in plant growth promotion and the discovery of noble bioactive natural products. Endophytic fungi possess several bioactivities like anticancer, antimicrobial, insecticidal, plant growth stimulants, crop protection, phytoremediation, etc. Presence of modular biosynthetic genes clusters like PKS and NRPS in several endophytic fungi underscores the need to understand and explore such organisms. This volume presents and demonstrates the applied aspects of endophytic fungi. Practical applications of such endophytes are discussed in detail, including studies in pharmaceutical development and agricultural management of important microbial diseases. The beneficial effects that endophytic fungi provide to host plants?enhancing growth, increasing fitness, strengthening tolerance to abiotic and biotic stresses through secondary metabolites?are also discussed. The reader is provided with a comprehensive and detailed understanding of such relationships between endophytic fungi and their host. 410 0$aFungal Biology,$x2198-7785 606 $aFungi 606 $aMycology 606 $aMicrobiology 606 $aMicrobial genetics 606 $aPlants$xEvolution 606 $aIndustrial microbiology 606 $aBiotechnology 606 $aPlant genetics 606 $aFungi 606 $aMicrobial Genetics 606 $aPlant Evolution 606 $aIndustrial Microbiology 606 $aBiotechnology 606 $aPlant Genetics 615 0$aFungi. 615 0$aMycology. 615 0$aMicrobiology. 615 0$aMicrobial genetics. 615 0$aPlants$xEvolution. 615 0$aIndustrial microbiology. 615 0$aBiotechnology. 615 0$aPlant genetics. 615 14$aFungi. 615 24$aMicrobial Genetics. 615 24$aPlant Evolution. 615 24$aIndustrial Microbiology. 615 24$aBiotechnology. 615 24$aPlant Genetics. 676 $a579.135 702 $aSingh$b Bhim Pratap$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910337947203321 996 $aAdvances in endophytic fungal research$91829930 997 $aUNINA
