Abstract
A few years ago, there was limited knowledge about the benefits of endophytes. They were known to help host plants fight their daily biotic and abiotic stresses. Additionally, they acted as natural insecticides, aided in growth, and supplying nutrients to them. At present, endophytes have an all-new dimension added to them, benefiting their hosts and humans simultaneously. Nowadays, endophytes are being used in nanotechnology to build nanomaterials to enhance various existing medicinal and nonmedicinal products. The traditional process of making nanoparticles is exhausting and cost-ineffective, whereas using green chemistry synthesis mechanisms to produce functionally viable nanoparticles is an excellent approach. In this chapter, various approaches for producing different nanoparticles from endophytes are discussed along with their uses. � 2023 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
