Drought stress profoundly affects native desert plants' survival and performance. Among all
the abiotic stresses, drought is considered a major constraint that influences the structure …

Endophytic fungi have been studied in recent decades to understand how they interact with
their hosts, the types of relationships they establish, and the potential effects of this …

Dark septate endophytes (DSEs) comprise a diverse and ubiquitous group of fungal
generalists with broad habitat niches that robustly colonize the roots of plants in stressful …

Despite desert ecosystem being crucial to our understanding of natural geography, species
evolution and global climate change, there is limited information on the dynamics of their …

Microorganisms play an important role in plant growth and development. In particular,
endophytic fungi is one of the important kinds of microorganisms and has a mutually …

Although desert plants often establish multiple simultaneous symbiotic associations with
various endophytic fungi in their roots, most studies focus on single fungus inoculation …

The influence of dark septate endophytic (DSE) on the antioxidant activity of Astragalus
