Endophytic fungi are found in most, if not all, plant species on the planet. They colonise
inner plant tissues without causing symptoms of disease, thus providing benefits to the host …

Due to increasingly limited water resources, diminishing farmland acreage, and potentially
negative effects of climate change, an urgent need exists to improve agricultural productivity …

The innate immune system of plants recognizes microbial pathogens and terminates their
growth. However, recent findings suggest that at least one layer of this system is also …

Endophytic fungi infect plant tissues by evading the immune response, potentially
stimulating stress-tolerant plant growth. The plant selectively allows microbial colonization to …

Plant-associated endophytes define an important symbiotic association in nature and are
established bio-reservoirs of plant-derived natural products. Endophytes colonize the …

Plants interact with a diversity of microorganisms that influence their growth and resilience,
and they can therefore be considered as ecological entities, namely “plant holobionts,” …

Plant roots interact with an enormous diversity of commensal, mutualistic, and pathogenic
microbes, which poses a big challenge to roots to distinguish beneficial microbes from …

Plants have benefited from interactions with symbionts for co** with challenging
environments since the colonisation of land. The mechanisms of symbiont-mediated …

Systemic acquired resistance (SAR) and induced systemic resistance (ISR) are caused by
various factors, including both pathogenic and non-pathogenic ones. β-glucan primarily …

After three decades of the amazing progress made on molecular studies of plant–microbe
interactions (MPMI), we have begun to ask ourselves" what are the major questions still …
