Preview Endophyte biotechnology: potential for agriculture and pharmacology
Endophyte Biotechnology Potential for Agriculture and Pharmacology CABI Biotechnology SerieS Biotechnology, in particular the use of transgenic organisms, has a wide range of applica- tions including agriculture, forestry, food and health. There is evidence that it could make a major impact in producing plants and animals that are able to resist stresses and diseases, thereby increasing food security. There is also potential to produce pharmaceuticals in plants through biotechnology, and provide foods that are nutritionally enhanced. Genetically modified organisms can also be used in cleaning up pollution and contamination. However, the application of biotechnology has raised concerns about biosafety, and it is vital to ensure that genetically modified organisms do not pose new risks to the environment or health. To understand the full potential of biotechnology and the issues that relate to it, scientists need access to information that not only provides an overview of and background to the field, but also keeps them up to date with the latest research findings. This series, which extends the scope of CABI’s successful ‘Biotechnology in Agriculture’ series, addresses all topics relating to biotechnology including transgenic organisms, molecu- lar analysis techniques, molecular pharming, in vitro culture, public opinion, economics, development and biosafety. Aimed at researchers, upper-level students and policy makers, titles in the series provide international coverage of topics related to biotechnology, includ- ing both a synthesis of facts and discussions of future research perspectives and possible solutions.

Some microbes not only reside on the plant surface but are also capable of migrating into the plant without show- ing a distinct phenotype and eliciting disease responses. These rather elusive endophytic microbes are often closely related to plant pathogenic species and can even display the endophytic behaviour in one plant species while being pathogenic in another. Plants that have a persisting endophytic association with microbes often have a significant advantage over those that have not, because their performance and survival under stressful biotic and abiotic conditions, such as herbivory, disease, drought, extreme temperatures, or a combination of these, is positively affected by this association. Expanding the knowledge on plant–endophyte interactions is of crucial importance for future developments in plant breeding and sustain- able agricultural practices. What is more, as they are involved in biotrophic interactions, endophytes and, by combining their biosynthetic pathways, the plant–endophyte association may hold new peptides and metabolites with valuable properties for pharmacological and biotechnological purposes. In the past ten years, the fundamental and applied research on endophytes has significantly accelerated by using state-of-the-art molecular, biochemical, microscopical and biological techniques. This book aims at appreciating the added value of the current accumulated knowledge on endophytes by elaborating on the latest insights regarding microorganisms, their mesmerizing diversity and distribution, their intriguing interactions with plants, their ecological functions, and their benefits and applications in agriculture, biotechnology and medicine. I sincerely acknowledge all the colleagues who contributed, thus making this book possible: David Hemming at CABI for inviting me to edit this book in this series and both David Hem- ming and Emma McCann at CABI for their friendly support, advice and patience.
