Preface
A better understanding of endophytic microorganisms may help to elucidate their
functions and potential role in developing sustainable systems of crop production
andtheirprotectionagainstabioticandbioticstresses.Endophytesplayavitalrole

other hand, endophytes are potential source of several secondary metabolites and
several useful other metabolites such as alkaloids, enzymes, biosurfactants, bio-
controlagents,andplantgrowthpromoters.Itisimperativethattheseproductshave
industrial applications in the field of biotechnology, pharmacy, and agriculture.
The ‘Endophytes: Vol. II Crop productivity and protection’ is an endeavor to
reviewthecurrentdevelopmentsintheunderstandingofmicrobialendophytesand
their potential applications in the enhancement of productivity and disease pro-
tection. This book contains various chapters presenting state of knowledge on
involvement of endophytes in crop productivity and soil health because of bene-
ficial for agricultural and forest ecosystem. Endophytes contribute in nonnative
crops, volatile organic compound production, and a remarkable source of biolog-
ically active secondary metabolites and enzymes, as lignin degrading fungi, in
bioremediation, phosphate solubilization, agricultural productivity, and plant dis-
ease control. The chapters describe the strategies for crop improvement and pro-
duction of useful metabolites and aromatic compounds, enzymes, and other
metabolites.Thesechaptersaredescribedwithadvanceinformationonendophytes
