Fungal endophytes grow symbiotically inside a diverse array of plants, and improve viability
of the hosts in various mutualistic manners. We investigated the effects of inoculating …

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

Soil drought is detrimental to plant growth worldwide, particularly by triggering reactive
oxygen species (ROS) burst. Serendipita indica (Si), a culturable root-associated endophytic …

Ascorbate-glutathione cycle is an important pathway for plants to scavenge reactive oxygen
species (ROS) under environmental stress conditions. The objective of this study was to …

Strawberry is one of the most widely consumed fruit, but this crop is highly susceptible to
drought, a condition strongly associated with climate change, causing economic losses due …

Key message The activation of the antioxidant system under stress combination is a
transmissible trait from the rootstock to the scion. Therefore, rootstock selection is key to …

The objective of the study is to understand drought induced oxidative stress scavenging
mechanism in Citrus reticulata in order to understand the interplay between different …

Drought and high temperatures are two major abiotic stress factors that often occur
simultaneously in nature, affecting negatively crop performance and yield. Moreover, these …

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 …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi can increase the tolerance of host plants to drought,
whereas the intrinsic mechanisms are not still fully elucidated. Flavonoids are a kind of …
