Endophytic Association: What, Why, and How focuses on the endophytic association of plants, how they have originated inside the host, their importance, and how they are beneficial for the environment, as well as humans. The book discusses how using endophytic microbes in agricultural fields can be enriched without impacting environment negatively, and how they can be utilized for pharmaceutical purposes, including bioremediation. It includes advanced and up-to-date information, as well as future directions for young researchers and scientists who are working in the field of agriculture, pharmaceuticals, bio nanotechnology and bioremediation of environmental contaminants for environmental protection and sustainable development.

Details the underlying mechanisms of endophyte-host association and their signaling mechanisms
Describes numerous, successful field studies on the different applications of nanoparticles produced by endophytes (bio-nanotechnology) for sustainable development
Presents recent advances and challenges in endophyte-associated bio-remediation research and applications for human health
Provides information on bioactive compounds produced by endophytes for pharmaceutical purposes

About the Authors

Dr. Maulin P. Shah is an active researcher and microbial biotechnologist with diverse research interest. His primary interest is the environment, the quality of our living resources and the ways that bacteria can help to manage and degrade toxic wastes and restore environmental health. Consequently, His work has been focused to assess the impact of industrial pollution on microbial diversity of wastewater following cultivation dependant and cultivation independent analysis.

Dr. Deepanwita Deka received her B.Sc. degree (2009) and M.Sc. degree (2011) in Botany with specialization Microbiology from Gauhati University, Guwahati, Assam, India. She earned her M.Phil. and Ph.D. degree in 2013 and 2020 respectively from Microbial Ecology Laboratory, Department of Botany, Gauhati University. She efficiently worked on Plant and Pharmaceutical microbiology during her M.Phil. and Ph.D. research. She is an active researcher and her research interests cover mainly Plant-microbe interactions, Agricultural microbiology, Pharmaceutical microbiology, Environmental Microbiology, Bioremediation, Myco-Nanoparticles etc. Dr. Deka received many scholarships, awards and fellowship during her education. She has many publications in different National and International Journals and Books (Elsevier, Springer, CRC Press etc.) on various aspects of microbiology covering her interests. She is the editor of 3 books international repute (1 Elsevier and 2 Springer).

From the Back Cover

In 15 chapters, Endophytic Association: What, Why, and How, focuses on the endophytic association of plants, how they have originated inside the host, what is their importance inside the host plants, and how they are beneficial for the environment, as well as humans, from different perspectives. Its discusses how, by using endophytic microbes, agricultural fields can be enriched without impacting the environment negatively, and how they can be utilized for pharmaceutical purposes, bioremediation.

Endophytic Association: What, Why, and How, includes advanced and up-to-date information, as well as future directions for young researchers and scientists, who are working in the field of agriculture, pharmaceuticals, bio nanotechnology and bioremediation of environmental contaminants, for environmental protection and sustainable development.

There is a need to provide information related to endophytic microorganisms and their applications in different fields for sustainable development. The proposed book Endophytic Association: What, Why, and How, covers all such aspects, which cannot be covered within a review paper or a research article.
