Abstract:Background
Fungal endophytes exhibit symbiotic relationships with their host plants but have recently emerged as sources for synthesizing important varieties of secondary metabolites (SMs). Many of these metabolites have shown significant importance as antibacterial, antifungal, antitumor, and anticancer drugs, leading to their exploration in medicine and pharmaceuticals.
Main body of the abstract
The endophytes' biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) a… Show more
