Biocontrol agents (BCA) have been an important tool in agriculture to prevent crop losses
due to plant pathogens infections and to increase plant food production globally, diminishing …

Plant-parasitic-nematodes represent a major threat to the agricultural production of different
crops worldwide. Due to the high toxicity of chemical nematicides, it is necessary to develop …

Microbial endophytes are present in all known plant species. The ability to enter and thrive
in the plant tissues makes endophytes unique, showing multidimensional interactions within …

Endophytic fungi comprise host-associated fungal communities which thrive within the
tissues of host plants and produce a diverse range of secondary metabolites with various …

Plants exist in close association with uncountable numbers of microorganisms around, on,
and within them. Some of these endophytically colonize plant roots. The colonization of roots …

Bacterial and fungal endophytes are widespread inhabitants inside plant tissues and have
been shown to assist plant growth and health. However, little is known about plant growth …

Biotic and abiotic stresses severely affect agriculture by affecting crop productivity, soil
fertility, and health. These stresses may have significant financial repercussions …

Pesticides are essential to modern human production activities, particularly those increasing
global food production and quality; however, corresponding pesticide contamination is …

Many recent studies have demonstrated that non-pathogenic fungi within plant microbiomes,
ie, endophytes (“endo”= within,“phyte”= plant), can significantly modify the expression of …

Fungi play many essential roles in ecosystems. They facilitate plant access to nutrients and
water, serve as decay agents that cycle carbon and nutrients through the soil, water and …
