The global sustainability agenda is increasing the demand for reduction in inputs into
agricultural production while maintaining profitable yield of quality products. Plant diseases …

Phytobeneficial microbes, particularly endophytes, such as fungi and bacteria, are
concomitant partners of plants throughout its developmental stages, including seed …

All plants in natural ecosystems appear to be symbiotic with fungal endophytes. This highly
diverse group of fungi can have profound impacts on plant communities through increasing …

Fungal endophytes isolated from healthy Theobroma cacao tissues were screened in vitro
for antagonism against major pathogens of cacao. Of tested endophytic morphospecies …

Reactive oxygen species are in all types of organisms from microbes to higher plants and
animals. They are by-products of normal metabolism, such as photosynthesis and …

Over the past several decades, we have come to appreciate that healthy plants host, within
and on the surfaces of their tissues, endophytic and epiphytic fungi and bacteria that do not …

Grasses are noted for an absence of toxic secondary metabolites. However, some grass-
associated fungi are known for their production of numerous secondary compounds, which …

Endophytic fungi ubiquitously dwell inside the tissue-spaces of plants, mostly
asymptomatically. They grow either intercellularly or intracellularly in a particular host plant …

A ESTRA (" T Endophytes are microorganisms that live inside the host plant tissues which
have novel metabolites exhibiting a variety of biological activities against different diseases …

In this review, we discuss the biology and beneficial effects of plant endophytes on host
plants. The current explanation of endophyte protection (defensive mutualism) of host plants …
