Biocontrol Mechanisms of Endophytic Microorganisms covers a brief introduction about endophytic microorganisms, colonization, diversity and distribution, describes the isolation and identification of endophytic microorganisms by traditional cultivation and by next generation sequencing technologies, describes biocontrol mechanisms, bacterial priming, endophytic based methods, the significance on fungi, and metabolite based formulations. The book concludes with chapters on biofilms, microbiota and safety issues of microorganisms. Deeper knowledge on mechanistic action of microbial biocontrol agents is highly relevant in the present situation. The intensive use of chemicals to control these plant pathogens has resulted in negative consequences such as release of toxic chemicals to environment, reduced soil fertility and human health problems. Therefore, environmentally-friendly and sustainable replacement of chemical fertilizers or pesticides is highly challenging.
