Summary: The study examines the intricate relationship between plants and the endophytic fungi inhabiting their tissues. These fungi coexist with plants, forming a symbiotic connection that has potential implications for plant health and growth. The bioactive compounds produced by these fungi hold promise for human health.

Summary: In this study, 235 strains of endophytic fungi were isolated and identified from coffee leaf tissues collected in four coffee plantations in Pu'er city, Yunnan province, China. These coffee-endophytic fungi showed antagonistic activities against fungal and bacterial pathogens, indicating their potential use as biological control agents. This is the first study to explore the diversity of coffee leaf endophytic fungi in China.

Summary: This study found that in the presence of barnyardgrass, rice had higher bacterial diversity but lower fungal richness compared to the barnyardgrass. Rice recruited more endophytic bacteria at certain growth stages and more endophytic fungi at other stages to combat the biotic stress from barnyardgrass. The composition of endophytic bacteria and fungi in the roots of rice and barnyardgrass differed, and there was a negative correlation between bacteria and fungi in both species.

Summary: In this review, the role of endophytic fungi in plant health and their production of bioactive terpenoids are described. The study of endophytic fungi and their terpenoids provide opportunities for better applications in human health and agriculture. Despite advances in understanding endophytism, further research is still needed in this field.

Summary: Endophytic fungi isolated from leaves of Ephedra pachyclada showed varied antimicrobial activity, plant growth-promoting properties, and enzymatic activity, with Penicillium commune EP-5 demonstrating maximum IAA productivity. The selected fungal endophytes applied as bioinoculant to maize plants improved root lengths and vegetative growth features significantly compared to uninoculated plants.

Summary: Dryland ecosystems undergo seasonal cycles of extreme drought and moderate precipitation. Desert plants may develop symbiotic relationships with root endophytic microbes to survive under these challenging conditions. The community assembly of bacteria and fungi is regulated differently, with bacteria being influenced by both stochastic and deterministic processes, and mycorrhizal fungi being selected by plants in the summer.

Summary: The diversity of salt-tolerant endophytic bacteria associated with New Zealand spinach was studied, and their beneficial properties for plants were evaluated. The isolated bacteria showed plant growth-promoting traits, including hormone production and inhibition of fungal pathogens. They also exhibited the ability to synthesize ACC deaminase, which can reduce ethylene levels in plants. Regardless of their origin, the bacteria stimulated the growth of plants under high salt conditions.

Summary: This study identified two plant growth-promoting endophytic bacteria from the roots of ice plants, which significantly promoted the growth of ice plants and affected the metabolome. The selected strains alleviated the effects of salt stress on ice plants, showing potential for developing microbe-assisted soil phytoremediation strategies using Mesembryanthemum species.

Summary: The study found that soil fungal communities were the richest, while endophytic fungi showed the lowest diversity, with different tissues harboring different levels of diversity. Major fungal classes in both epiphytic and endophytic samples were ascomycetes, with distinct fungal orders enriched in different tissues within the endophytes.

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.

Summary: This study focused on isolating and characterizing beneficial endophytic bacteria (EnB) in commercially important tea clones in North Eastern India. The findings highlighted the potential of EnB as plant growth promoters, particularly in traits such as plant growth promotion characteristics and biofilm formation. Research on two major bacteria, Stenotrophomonas sp. and Pseudomonas sp., showed that they were able to effectively promote plant growth in commercial tea clones under nursery conditions.
