What is it about?
Potential and future of endophytes in drug discovery programme and for other biotechnological purposes including ecofriendly biological applications. But it is possible if not ignored but explored by employing every possible scientific means, across all the diverse ecoregions of the globe.

Why is it important?
To neutralise various emerging biological pressures that currently threaten the whole biosphere. These issues include exigent communicable and non-communicable diseases, drug resistance, pollution due to pesticides, insecticides, xenobiotics etc and resultant negative aspects.
Perspectives
It may encourage researchers to move ahead regarding endophytes because same endophyte can be unique even if found from different locations of the globe. Secondarily it depicts that need of the hour is to possibilize the scientific exploitatation of the natural biological potentials of this hidden treasure by devising every possible scientific means. This is because of their natural ability to combat the multidimensional problems of biosphere.
