rapidly with increasingly widespread use of molecular techniques, over the past 10–15 …

Background Fungal endophytes occur ubiquitously in plants and are being increasingly
studied for their ability to support plant health and protect the host from diseases. Using …

Background Scientific approaches into modern agricultural systems, as opposed to the use
of synthetic pesticides in food production, became important by exploring endophytic fungi …

Endophytes associate with the majority of plant species found in natural and managed
ecosystems. They are regarded as extremely important plant partners that provide improved …

Dark septate endophytes (DSE) exert a plethora of effects in regulating plant growth,
signalling and stress tolerance. The advent of metagenomics has led to the identification of …

Phytohormone crosstalk is crucial for plant defenses against pathogens and insects in which
salicylic acid (SA), jasmonic acid (JA), and ethylene (ET) play key roles. These low …

Mutualistic symbiotic associations between multicellular eukaryotes and their microbiota are
driven by the exchange of nutrients in a quid pro quo manner. In the widespread arbuscular …

Dark septate endophytes (DSEs) comprise a diverse and ubiquitous group of fungal
