The large genetic evolution due to the sexual reproduction-mediated gene assortments and
propensities has made Venturia inaequalis (causing apple scab) unique with respect to its …

Alkaloids are a large group of plant secondary metabolites with various structures and
activities. It is important to understand their functions in the interplay between plants and the …

In nature, plants interact with a wide range of microorganisms, and most of these
microorganisms could induce growth through the activation of important molecular …

Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) work in a variety of ways to promote plant
growth and increase crop yield. They've recently gotten a lot of attention in crops, but not so …

Abstract Stevia rebaudiana (Bertoni) Bertoni is a plant of economic interest in the food and
pharmaceutical industries due its steviol glycosides (SG), which are rich in metabolites that …

Among the plant‐associated microorganisms, the so‐called endophytes continue to attract
much attention because of their ability not only to protect host plants from biotic and abiotic …

Endophytes represent a ubiquitous and magical world in plants. Almost all plant species
studied by different researchers have been found to harbor one or more endophytes, which …

The release of organic compounds in the aquatic environment, resulting from different
human activities, is a serious hazard due to the toxic, hydrophobic and persistent nature of …

Endophytic fungi colonize interior plant tissue and mostly form mutualistic associations with
their host plant. Plant-endophyte interaction is a complex mechanism and is currently a …

Plant-plant associations, notably cereal-legume intercropping, have been proposed in
agroecology to better value resources and thus reduce the use of chemical inputs in …
