Role of Endophytes in the Regulation of Metabolome in Bioenergy Crops

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Biotechnology and Omics Approaches for Bioenergy Crops

Abstract

Bioenergy crops are a promising renewable energy source that may be used to reduce dependency on fossil fuels and mitigate climate change, though the growth of bioenergy crops can negatively impact the environment and use up a lot of resources like water and fertilizers if improperly managed. Therefore, it is essential to develop efficient and long-lasting methods for cultivating crops for bioenergy. The vital function endophytes perform in controlling the metabolome in bioenergy crops is covered in this book chapter. Microorganisms known as endophytes exist in plant tissues without harming the host plant. They have been discovered to have a significant influence on plant growth and development, particularly in bioenergy crops. The link between endophytes and bioenergy plants, specifically with regard to metabolome control, is the main topic of this chapter. The health and productivity of a plant as a whole are greatly influenced by its metabolome, which is the entire collection of tiny molecules. The information about metabolome regulation by the endophytic microbes may help us regulate the concentration of our desired and target metabolites, thus paving the way towards enhanced efficiency of the bioenergy crops.
