Endophytic Fungi: The Full Story of the Untapped Treasure

Texte du rabat

Endophytic Fungi: The Full Story of the Untapped Treasure covers the developments in endophytic fungal research from beginning to the end by the eminent researchers involved in the field. It sheds light on the endophytic fungal current research, challenges, and future possibilities, the trending recent topics in the plant-fungal endophytes' biodynamics for sustainable development of bioproducts and its applications are supported in large-scale biosynthesis of industrially and pharmaceutical important biomolecules.The highlights of Endophytic Fungi: The Full Story of the Untapped Treasure are the bioprospecting and applied aspects of endophytic fungi. Practical applications of such endophytes are discussed in detail. Further, it reviews recent strategies on alternative sustainable sources of medicines such as secondary metabolites of fungi instead of over collection of plants under prohibiting of biodiversity conventions. The uniqueness of the Endophytic Fungi is the inclusion of updated bioinformatics-based strategies and its importance in bioactive molecules produced by endophytic fungi. Endophytic Fungi addresses one of the most eminent issues in this field: "how to translate the potential that endophytic fungi hold in stable practical application."
