Introduction to endophytes and their application to develop commercial products
The document discusses endophyte biology, particularly its applications in medicine and agriculture, highlighting the significance of plant biodiversity in isolating novel endophytes. Various studies on endophytic microbes, such as their defensive properties against pathogens and their potential medicinal uses, are presented, along with examples from diverse ecosystems. It emphasizes the importance of preserving rainforests due to the vast microbial diversity they harbor.

The relationships of the plant to the microbe may range from symbiotic to weakly pathogenic. 3. Host specificity may exist with certain microbes which places a huge emphasis on the preservation of the world’s rainforests. 4. Products from endophytes have a wide range of uses in medicine, agriculture and industry. 5. Peculiar microbes are plentiful and usually are to be found in areas of high biodiversity. 6. The biology of endophytes is largely unknown.
