“…Finally, biofertilizers for plant-growth promotion and biocontrol agents for mitigation of pests and diseases is its other major operation. In this context, culture-independent molecular techniques using metagenomics and multi-locus sequence typing can help isolate and characterize such endophytes ( Gupta et al, 2020 ; Adeleke et al, 2022 ; Chouhan et al, 2022 ). Wherein species-specific fungal endophytes identification, isolation, characterization, inoculation, and interaction studies, unraveling their molecular signaling mechanism, and delivering abiotic and biotic stress mitigation, are highly expected.…”

“…These endophytes produce secondary metabolites that confer host plants resistance ( Table 2 ). The secondary metabolites produced may be natural like phytohormones or any nutrients or alkaloids, terpenes, quinines, benzopyranones, chinones, phenolic acids, terpenoids, steroids, flavonoids, hydrocarbons, etc., in response to stressed condition ( Tiwari, 2015 ; Bilal et al, 2018 ; Chouhan et al, 2022 ); depending upon fungal endophyte and host species ( Grabka et al, 2022 ). Therefore, it is essential to gain in-depth knowledge of their host range, specificity, colonization, transmission, and host-endophyte interaction.…”

“…An endophytic fungus lives in inter or intracellular spaces in the stem, petiole, and leaves of a plant for a part or whole of its life cycle. These highly efficient fungal endophytes can ensue for the entire life of the plant, which might also enable the plant to squelch the environmental constraints ( Vandenkoornhuyse et al, 2015 ; Chouhan et al, 2022 ). Fungal endophytes are crucial for resilience and sustainability in today’s agriculture.…”

The agricultural sustainability concept considers higher food production combating biotic and abiotic stresses, socio-economic well-being, and environmental conservation. On the contrary, global warming-led climatic changes have appalling consequences on agriculture, generating shifting rainfall patterns, high temperature, CO2, drought, etc., prompting abiotic stress conditions for plants. Such stresses abandon the plants to thrive, demoting food productivity and ultimately hampering food security. Though environmental issues are natural and cannot be regulated, plants can still be enabled to endure these abnormal abiotic conditions, reinforcing the stress resilience in an eco-friendly fashion by incorporating fungal endophytes. Endophytic fungi are a group of subtle, non-pathogenic microorganisms establishing a mutualistic association with diverse plant species. Their varied association with the host plant under dynamic environments boosts the endogenic tolerance mechanism of the host plant against various stresses via overall modulations of local and systemic mechanisms accompanied by higher antioxidants secretion, ample enough to scavenge Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) hence, coping over-expression of defensive redox regulatory system of host plant as an aversion to stressed condition. They are also reported to ameliorate plants toward biotic stress mitigation and elevate phytohormone levels forging them worthy enough to be used as biocontrol agents and as biofertilizers against various pathogens, promoting crop improvement and soil improvement, respectively. This review summarizes the present-day conception of the endophytic fungi, their diversity in various crops, and the molecular mechanism behind abiotic and biotic resistance prompting climate-resilient aided sustainable agriculture.

INTRODUCTION: Endophytic fungi are microorganisms that live inside plants for at least part of their life cycle without causing any harm. They can stimulate dormancy breakdown by producing metabolites that act on the embryo that stimulate seed germination and potentially growth promoters with symbiotic interactions between plants. The compounds produced have diverse effects, such as: stimulators of growth and development of plants, increased mineralization and availability of nutrients, producing stimulating compounds releasing phytohormones and breakdown of dormancy. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Selected several articles that were collected in the scientific databases in Portuguese and English. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: Articles were selected for the elaboration of a table reporting the main compounds in the promotion of growth and breakdown of dormancy. CONCLUSION: Endophytes can contribute to the discovery of new biomolecules for various biotechnological applications and the development of sustainable agriculture.
