Virtually all examined plant species harbour fungal endophytes which asymptomatically
infect or colonize living plant tissues, including leaves, branches, stems and roots …

Fungi are an essential component of any ecosystem and have diverse ecological roles,
ranging from endophytes to epiphytes and pathogens to saprobes. The current estimate of …

Plant diseases cause losses of approximately 16% globally. Thus, management measures
must be implemented to mitigate losses and guarantee food production. In addition to …

Endophytic fungi or endophytes exist widely inside the healthy tissues of living plants, and
are important components of plant micro-ecosystems. Over the long period of evolution …

The incorporation of entomopathogenic fungi as biocontrol agents into Integrated Pest
Management (IPM) programs without doubt, has been highly effective. The ability of these …

Mycoviruses are viruses that infect fungi, and hypovirulence-associated mycoviruses have
the potential to control fungal diseases. However, it is unclear how mycovirus-mediated …

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

Background Fungal endophytes occur ubiquitously in plants and are being increasingly
studied for their ability to support plant health and protect the host from diseases. Using …

This minireview highlights the importance of endophytic fungi for sustainable agriculture and
horticulture production. Fungal endophytes play a key role in habitat adaptation of plants …

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