Plant-parasitic-nematodes represent a major threat to the agricultural production of different
crops worldwide. Due to the high toxicity of chemical nematicides, it is necessary to develop …

Plant secondary metabolites (PSMs) are vital for human health and constitute the skeletal
framework of many pharmaceutical drugs. Indeed, more than 25% of the existing drugs …

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 exist in close association with uncountable numbers of microorganisms around, on,
and within them. Some of these endophytically colonize plant roots. The colonization of roots …

Due to increasingly limited water resources, diminishing farmland acreage, and potentially
negative effects of climate change, an urgent need exists to improve agricultural productivity …

Endophytes are microbes (mostly bacteria and fungi) present asymptomatically in plants.
Endophytic microbes are often functional in that they may carry nutrients from the soil into …

Plant–fungal interactions are widespread in nature, and their multiple benefits for plant
growth and health have been amply demonstrated. Endophytic and epiphytic fungi can …

Environmental stresses can compromise the interactions of plants with beneficial microbes.
In the present review, experimental results showing that stresses negatively affect the …

In this review, we examine the functional roles of microbial symbionts in plant tolerance to
cold and freezing stresses. The impacts of symbionts on antioxidant activity, hormonal …

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