Endophytes: Nurturing Crop Health and Sustainable Agriculture

Editat de A. K. Chakravarthy, B. Kariyanna
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 12 feb 2026
Endophytes are microbes that thrive on the internal tissues of plants without causing diseases. They are also a rich source of secondary compounds and metabolites with a wide range of applications in different sectors. This new book brings together key experimental and theoretical research on endophytes and focuses on their applications in different arenas in agriculture. The book explores the roles of endophytes in soil, in plant health, in the management of pests and pathogens, and for sustainable agriculture. Over 75 scientists working on endophytes and related fields have contributed to this volume, bringing the latest and most significant information together in a concise and meaningful manner.

Recenzii

“A  welcome addition to the existing literature on endophytes. The book will open up perspectives and issues related to endophytes in the tropics and sub-tropics. The book will contribute to further advances in endophytic research and attract scientists across disciplines in agriculture, environment and industry.”
—From the Foreword by Joanna Dames, PhD, Dean of Science Faculty, Rhodes University, Makhanda, South Africa
