All plants are inhabited internally by diverse microbial communities comprising bacterial,
archaeal, fungal, and protistic taxa. These microorganisms showing endophytic lifestyles …

Background Jasmonates are important regulators in plant responses to biotic and abiotic
stresses as well as in development. Synthesized from lipid-constituents, the initially formed …

Owing to its exceptional ability to efficiently promote plant growth, protection and stress
tolerance, a mycorrhiza like endophytic Agaricomycetes fungus Piriformospora indica has …

Biocontrol fungi (BCF) are agents that control plant diseases. These include the well-known
Trichoderma spp. and the recently described Sebacinales spp. They have the ability to …

Cytokinin regulates many important aspects of plant development in aerial and
subterranean organs. The hormone is part of an intrinsic genetic network controlling organ …

The cytochrome P450 (CYP) superfamily is the largest enzymatic protein family in plants,
and it also widely exists in mammals, fungi, bacteria, insects and so on. Members of this …

Microorganisms are found everywhere, and they are closely associated with plants.
Because the establishment of any plant–microbe association involves chemical …

The associations between plants and multipurpose plant growth-promoting fungi (PGPF)
have been proven extremely to be beneficial to plants. This review describes new …

Recent sequencing projects have provided deep insight into fungal lifestyle-associated
genomic adaptations. Here we report on the 25 Mb genome of the mutualistic root symbiont …
