Exploring Endophytes for In Vitro Synthesis of Bioactive Compounds in Medicinal and Aromatic Plants

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Biosynthesis of Bioactive Compounds in Medicinal and Aromatic Plants

Part of the book series: Food Bioactive Ingredients ((FBC))

Abstract

Symbiosis with microorganisms is an influential pathway in plant evolution, and many related components have yet to be discovered. Medicinal and aromatic plants are favoured by a wide range of researchers as natural sources for the development of pharmaceutical and aromatic products for humans. Endophytes are the “second genome” of plants and play an essential role in plant growth and development. Therefore, the analysis of molecular mechanisms of symbiosis can help shed light on the interplay between plants and endosymbionts and thus provide a basis for the application of plant microbial resources. In this chapter, we review the interactions between plants and microorganisms and the effects of endophytes on plant growth and the synthesis and accumulation of secondary metabolites. In addition, the research hotspots and application progress of plant endophytes are presented as a reference for understanding the regulatory role of plant microorganisms and to provide future research directions.
