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 650 0$aEndophytic fungi 700 1 $aSingh, Bhim Pratap$eeditor 830 0$aFungal biology$x2198-7777 856 40$3SpringerLink$zConnect to resource$uhttp://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-03589-1 907 $a.b14414429$b03-03-22$c08-07-21 912 $a991003953639707536 996 $aAdvances in endophytic fungal research$91829930 997 $aUNISALENTO 998 $ale003$b08-07-21$cm$d@ $e-$feng$gsz $h0$i0
