The global bio-diversity of fungi has been extensively investigated and their species number
has been estimated. Notably, the development of molecular phylogeny has revealed an …

Fungi are an essential component of any ecosystem and have diverse ecological roles,
ranging from endophytes to epiphytes and pathogens to saprobes. The current estimate of …

Endophytes as a ubiquitous associate of the plant are considered as a promising candidate
for sustainable agriculture. These organisms play a pivotal role in the regulation of the …

Culture techniques are vital in both traditional and modern fungal taxonomy. Establishing
sexual–asexual links and synanamorphs, extracting DNA and secondary metabolites are …

As endophytes are widely distributed in the plant's internal compartments and despite
having enormous potential as a biocontrol agent against postharvest diseases of fruits, the …

The many fascinating aspects of biotechnology in endophytic studies not only concern their
interactions with plants but their potential as key players driving the synthesis of certain …

Phytoremediation is a widely accepted bioremediation method of treating heavy metal
contaminated soils. Nevertheless, the remediation efficiency in multi-metal contaminated …

The bioprospecting of secondary metabolites from endophytic fungi received great attention
in the 1990s and 2000s, when the controversy around taxol production from Taxus spp …

Accumulating evidences from investigations in the last decade have revealed the significant
role of endophytes in regulation of plant growth, communication and stress tolerance …

Phytoremediation is a promising remediation method of heavy metal (HM)–contaminated
soils. However, lower HM tolerance of metal accumulator inhibits its practical application …
