Opis

Outlines the core challenges to agriculture and food security and describes how endophytes can contribute to more sustainable agriculture with fewer chemical inputs. Invaluable to researchers working on endophytes in issues of food security, forestry, sustainability, plant pathology, microbiology and plant protection.

Recenzje

'This book provides a wealth of up-to-date information on the biology of endophytes and their host plants … this book certainly has broadened my horizons. It will be a welcome addition and could be used in advanced classes in plant physiology, medical botany, and horticulture. As such, it is more suitable for advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and professionals.' John Z. Kiss, Plant Science Bulletin
