Exploring the Beneficial Endophytic Microorganisms for Plant Growth Promotion and Crop Protection: Elucidation of Some Bioactive Secondary Metabolites Involved in Both Effects

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Secondary Metabolites of Plant Growth Promoting Rhizomicroorganisms

Abstract

Endophytic microorganisms are ubiquitous colonizers of the inner plant tissues without normally causing any morphological changes or disease symptoms. Several molecular studies focused on endophytic bacteria or fungi revealed a diversity of species. Edaphic conditions and recognition traits required for a successful colonization of plant tissues by endophytes are described. Beneficial endophytes promote plant growth and/or protect their host against phytopathogens through the production of various bioactive secondary metabolites. Efficiency of endophytes and/or their extracellular metabolites for suppression of plant diseases and promotion of plant growth and yield was largely investigated.
