Endophytic fungi comprise host-associated fungal communities which thrive within the
tissues of host plants and produce a diverse range of secondary metabolites with various …

Soil drought, an important abiotic stress, seriously inhibits plant growth and physiological
activities. However, arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi in soil can enhance plant adaptability …

Sustainable farming of horticultural plants has been the focus of research during the last
decade, paying significant attention to alarming weather extremities and climate change, as …

Reduction of plant growth, yield and quality due to diverse environmental constrains along
with climate change significantly limit the sustainable production of horticultural crops. In this …

A cultivable endophytic fungus, Piriformospora indica, improves growth and enhances stress
tolerance of host plants, but the underlying mechanisms remain unknown. We hypothesized …

Biostimulant application can be considered an effective, practical, and sustainable
nutritional crop supplementation and may lessen the environmental problems related to …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) establish symbiotic relationships with plant roots, which
aids the growth and development of host plants, as well as their ability to resist external …

A new more sustainable agricultural system needs to be developed to increase production
without compromising human and animal health and preserving essential resources, such …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi and endophytic fungi collectively symbiose well with
plants and, thus, stimulate plant growth; however, it is not clear whether field inoculation of …

The world population is expected to be around 9 billion by 2050 which would be 34 per cent
greater than the today's population. This will enhance the food demand to match the rising …
