“…Various fungal isolates like T. harzianum, T. koningii, T. atroviride, T. virens, T. reesei, and T. citrinoviride are reported, and their pathogenesis against pathogens has been demonstrated. Strong counter-attack activity against potent pests proves its suitable candidature for bio-control agents (Singh et al, 2021). Few of its strains are already being used as biofertilizers, reducing chemical fertilizer usage on farms.…”

“…The direct beneficial mechanism involves phytohormone production, nitrogen fixation, phosphate solubilization, siderophore production, and anti-microbial metabolite production ( El Enshasy et al, 2020 ). The indirect beneficial mechanism involves abiotic and biotic resistance (modifying the metabolism process), biocontrol, bioremediation, and phytoremediation ( Dubey et al, 2020 ; Singh et al, 2021 ). Cosmopolitan fungal endophytes act as biostimulants to produce certain bioactive compounds, phytohormones, phosphate solubilization factors, etc., to enhance root growth, seed germination, and plant growth promotion ( Rustamova et al, 2022 ).…”

“…They usher upregulation of bioactive molecules, phenolic compounds, antioxidants, phytoalexins, phytohormone production, ecological occupancy, etc. They are responsible for safeguarding crops from biotic stress ( Singh et al, 2021 ). Aspergillus sp., Colletotrichum sp., Gliocladium sp., Fusarium sp., Petriella sp., Piriformospora sp., Trichoderma sp., Epicoccum sp., Epichloe sp., etc., are a few of the major endophytes launching biotic stress resistance, while boosting growth and yield components of the host plant synchronously ( Table 3 ).…”

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.

“…In medicinal plants, endophytic microorganisms can influence the quality and quantity of bioactive compounds (Jia et al 2016;Castronovo et al 2021), thus affecting their therapeutic properties. Bacterial and fungal endophytes are involved in the production of plant phytoregulators (Compant et al 2019;Aamir et al 2020;Basu et al 2021;Khalediyan et al 2021;Singh et al 2021;Vandana et al 2021) and secondary metabolites relevant for host growth and response to biotic and abiotic stress. Many of these metabolites are flavonoids and isoflavonoids, terpenoids and alkaloids with pharmacological properties (Burragoni & Jean 2021;Castronovo et al 2021;Xu et al 2021).…”

Echinacea purpurea microbiota: bacterial–fungal interactions and the interplay with host and non‐host plant species in vitro dual culture

Important evidence is reported on the antimicrobial and antagonistic properties of bacterial endophytes in Echinacea purpurea and their role in the modulation of plant synthesis of bioactive compounds. Here, endophytic fungi were isolated from E. purpurea, and the dual culture approach was applied to deepen insights into the complex plant-microbiome interaction network.• In vitro experiments were carried out to evaluate the species specificity of the interaction between host (E. purpurea) and non-host (E. angustifolia and Nicotiana tabacum) plant tissues and bacterial or fungal endophytes isolated from living E. purpurea plants to test interactions between fungal and bacterial endophytes.• A higher tropism towards plant tissue and growth was observed for both fungal and bacterial isolates compared to controls without plant tissue. The growth of all fungi was significantly inhibited by several bacterial strains that, in turn, were scarcely affected by the presence of fungi. Finally, E. purpurea endophytic bacteria were able to inhibit mycelial growth of the phytopathogen Botrytis cinerea.• Bacteria and fungi living in symbiosis with wild Echinacea plants interact with each other and could represent a potential source of bioactive compounds and a biocontrol tool.
