Influence of plant growth-promoting endophytes Colletotrichum siamense and Diaporthe masirevici on tomato plants (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.)

Shalene da Silva da Silva Santos et al.

Summary: The protective and growth-promoting activities of Colletrotrichum and Diaporthe endophytes on tomato plants were explored and evaluated in this study. In vitro dual culture assays and greenhouse experiments confirmed the effectiveness of these endophytes in inhibiting Fusarium oxysporum and promoting the growth of tomato plants.

Fungal endophytes alleviate salt stress in wheat in terms of growth, ion homeostasis and osmoregulation

M. Bouzouina et al.

Summary: This study examined the ability of isolated endophytic fungi to enhance salt stress tolerance in wheat. Results showed that fungi like A. chlamydospora and F. equiseti improved wheat emergence and root growth under moderate to severe salinity conditions. The high proline content and sugar level in leaves of inoculated wheat seedlings indicate the potential for endophytic fungi bio-inoculation to improve wheat tolerance to salt stress.

Alleviation of salinity stress in plants by endophytic plant-fungal symbiosis: Current knowledge, perspectives and future directions

Sneha Gupta et al.

Summary: The use of endophytic fungi can enhance plant salt tolerance by modulating plant internal environment to maintain stability under salt stress. Further research on biochemical, molecular, genetic mechanisms of salt stress resistance and plant-endophyte responses to multiple stresses is crucial for future studies.

Desert-adapted fungal endophytes induce salinity and drought stress resistance in model crops

Mahdieh S. Hosseyni Moghaddam et al.

Summary: This study demonstrated the effects of inoculating halotolerant endophytic fungi recovered from desert plants on drought and salinity stress tolerance in model agricultural plants. The fungal symbiosis increased chlorophyll concentration and plant growth under all levels of salinity and drought stress, with different stress resistance mechanisms observed in different endophyte-associated plants. These findings provide novel insights into the eco-physiological mechanisms of fungal endophyte-mediated stress tolerance in cucumber and tomato plants, highlighting the potential applications of arid and saline habitat adapted endophytes in agriculture.

Biotechnological application of plant growth-promoting endophytic bacteria isolated from halophytic plants to ameliorate salinity tolerance of Vicia faba L.

Hany A. M. Mahgoub et al.

Summary: Salinity is a major global issue affecting crop production, and endophytic bacteria can help improve plant salt tolerance. This study identified various endophytic strains with plant growth-promoting activities and found that inoculating bean seeds with specific strains mitigated the harmful effects of soil salinity, enhancing plant growth and nutrient accumulation. The co-inoculation of Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus thuringiensis showed the greatest potential in alleviating the negative impact of soil salinity stress, offering a bio-approach for reclaiming salinity-stressed soils.

Fungal Endophyte: An Interactive Endosymbiont With the Capability of Modulating Host Physiology in Myriad Ways

Sohini Sarkar et al.

Summary: Endophytic fungi ubiquitously inhabit plant tissues, playing important roles in plant physiology and stress tolerance through the course of evolution. While their impact on plant growth, nutrient uptake, and stress response has been extensively studied, specific mechanisms by which fungal endophytes manipulate plant physiology remain poorly documented.

Untapping the potential of plant mycobiomes for applications in agriculture

Maria J. Pozo et al.

Summary: Plant-fungal interactions are widespread in nature, with demonstrated benefits for plant growth and health. Fungi can enhance plant resilience, nutrition, stress tolerance, and defense mechanisms. However, limited knowledge of fungal biology and their interactions with plants in the plant microbiome context has hindered the development of optimal biotechnological applications in agrosystems and natural ecosystems. Exciting advances in molecular and systems biology offer numerous opportunities for further research in this field.

Mohamed A. Ismail et al.

Summary: This study isolated bacterial and fungal endophytic strains from common bean root plants, which were found to promote plant growth and exhibit better results in increasing plant biomass, photosynthetic pigments, carbohydrate and protein contents, antioxidant enzyme activity compared to exogenously applied hormones. The endophyte Brevibacillus agri (PB5) showed high potential as a stimulator for common bean plant growth and productivity.
