Fungi are an understudied, biotechnologically valuable group of organisms. Due to the
immense range of habitats that fungi inhabit, and the consequent need to compete against a …

Endophytic fungi are found in most, if not all, plant species on the planet. They colonise
inner plant tissues without causing symptoms of disease, thus providing benefits to the host …

Microbial endophytes are present in all known plant species. The ability to enter and thrive
in the plant tissues makes endophytes unique, showing multidimensional interactions within …

Biotic stress is caused by harmful microbes that prevent plants from growing normally and
also having numerous negative effects on agriculture crops globally. Many biotic factors …

Plant diseases cause losses of approximately 16% globally. Thus, management measures
must be implemented to mitigate losses and guarantee food production. In addition to …

Plants are subjected to various abiotic stresses, such as drought, extreme temperature,
salinity, and heavy metals. Abiotic stresses have negative impact on the physiology and …

Salinity stress is a major threat to global food production and its intensity is continuously
increasing because of anthropogenic activities. Wheat is a staple food and a source of …

The plant microbiomes play important role in plant growth promotion and soil fertility for
sustainable agriculture. Plant and soil are valuable natural resource harbouring hotspots of …

Endophytes are micro‐organisms including bacteria and fungi that survive within healthy
plant tissues and promote plant growth under stress. This review focuses on the potential of …
