Crops aimed at feeding an exponentially growing population are often exposed to a variety
of harsh environmental factors. Although plants have evolved ways of adjusting their …

Endophytes are microbes (mostly bacteria and fungi) present asymptomatically in plants.
Endophytic microbes are often functional in that they may carry nutrients from the soil into …

Abiotic stresses in soil occur due to high salinity, temperature, drought, heavy metals, and
nutrients inhibit the functions of plants and cause a reduction in crop productivity. The …

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT), an important evolutionary mechanism observed in
prokaryotes, is the transmission of genetic material across phylogenetically distant species …

Diverse forms of plant-microbe associations affect agriculture and the environment. Both
plants and microbes have evolved to produce a variety of proteins and metabolites to enable …

Endophytic fungi were able to protect their host plants against pathogens and promote plant
growth. No previous studies have been conducted on the growth promotion of sunchoke by …

Background Symbiotic associations of endophytic fungi have been proved by possessing an
ability to produce hormones and metabolites for their host plant. Members of the …

Inside plants, microbial communities live as endophytes without causing any disease
symptoms or adverse impacts to the host plant. These microbial communities may comprise …

The role of endophytic fungi isolated from different populations of European Ni
hyperaccumulators was investigated in regard to the microorganisms' ability to enhance the …

Endophytic fungi exist widely in plants and play an important role in the growth and
adaptation of plants. They could be used in phytoremediation techniques against heavy …
