Aims The root endophytic fungus Piriformospora indica (P. indica) colonizes the roots of a
wide range of higher plants and promotes growth, disease resistance and stress tolerance of …

Background and aim The root endophytic fungus Piriformospora indica increases plant
resistance and tolerance to stress and promotes plant growth, but its ability to support plant …

Phosphorus (P) is a major macronutrient for plant health and development. The available
form of P is generally low in the rhizosphere even in fertile soils. A major proportion of …

Piriformospora indica is an endophytic fungus that colonized monocot as well as dicot. P.
indica has been termed as plant probiotic because of its plant growth promoting activity and …

Because pure cultures and a stable transformation system are not available for arbuscular
mycorrhizal fungi, the role of their phosphate transporters for the symbiotic interaction with …

Piriformospora indica is an endophytic fungus of Sebacinaceae which colonizes the roots of
many plant species and confers benefits to the hosts. We demonstrate that approximately …

The basidiomycete fungus Piriformospora indica colonizes roots of a broad range of mono-
and dicotyledonous plants. It confers enhanced growth, improves resistance against biotic …

The high-quality phosphorus (P) rocks on Earth may be depleted within the next fifty years.
Hence, it is important to search for microbes that are effective in mobilizing soil legacy P …

Root colonization by the basidiomycete fungus Piriformospora indica induces host plant
tolerance against abiotic and biotic stress, and enhances growth and yield. As P. indica has …

Although most cultivated soils have high levels of total phosphorus (P), the levels of
bioavailable inorganic P (Pi) are insufficient. The application of plant-growth-promoting …
