Endophytic Fungi, Occurrence and Metabolites

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Physiology and Genetics

Part of the book series: The Mycota ((MYCOTA,volume 15))

Abstract

The chapter will start with the definition of endophytic fungi, a taxonomic survey and their importance for the host plants. Metabolites of endophytic fungi isolated from various sources including medicinal plants will be summarized. The diversity of the chemical structures and their different biological activities will be discussed. Finally, the ecological role of the endophytic fungi and their metabolites will be reviewed.
