Plant Endophytes and Secondary Metabolites provides the latest insights into the essential roles of these beneficial elements in plant growth, development, stress tolerance, and plant protection from soil-borne disease. The book provides a comprehensive guide, addressing the usefulness and utility of endophytes towards enhancing plant tolerance to abiotic or biotic stress. It identifies biomolecules with unique molecular architectures, novel enzymes of industrial importance, and explores the ecology and community structure of endophytes associated with host plants and their potential. In addition, the book addresses the needs of researchers and advanced level students in agriculture, plant sciences, and biochemistry, seeking to elucidate on plant and soil microbiome sustainable ecosystem services.
