Abstract
Endophytes form a very complex physical and physiological association with the host plant influencing many biological activities. This complex association results in several novel and beneficial activities for these hidden organisms as evident by chapters presented in the two-volume set on endophytes. All the work on endophytes can be categorized as i) isolation and identification, ii) role in agriculture, iii) production of industrially important products, and iv) production of useful secondary metabolites. The concluding remark envisioned the future beneficial role of endophytes with the use of new technology in industry and agriculture.
