The role of endophytes to combat abiotic stress in plants

Plant Stress
Climatic changes and global warming produce abiotic stressors that affect plant development and productivity. Abiotic stressors, such as drought, salt, cold, and heat, significantly impair global agricultural crop yields.

Plant and soil biodiversity reveals past and potential future states of naturally regenerating and planted native forests

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Forest restoration can be achieved by promoting natural regeneration or planting tree seedlings, but the relative benefits of these widely used approaches are questioned. Soil communities may influence restoration outcomes but are usually ignored by monitoring schemes.

Cognitive Symbionts. Expanding the Scope of Cognitive Science With Fungi

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract It has been argued that fungi have cognitive capacities, and even conscious experiences. While these arguments risk ushering in unproductive disputes about how words like “mind,” “cognitive,” “sentient,” and “conscious” should be used, paying close attention to key properties of fungal life can also be uncontroversially productive for ...

Synergistic activity of endophytic phytobiome enhances stress tolerance and secondary metabolite production in plants

Plant Stress
Endophytes are asymptomatic, mutually beneficial microorganisms that acquire nutrients and habitat from the host plants while enhancing secondary metabolite production and improving stress tolerance. Under stress conditions, the plants’ physiological and

The Emergence of Endophytic Microbes and Their Biological Promise

Journal of Fungi, 2018
As is true with animal species, plants also have an associated microflora including endophytes as well as microbes associated with the phyllosphere and rhizosphere (plant surfaces) and this is considered the plant microbiome.

Diversity and Plant Growth‐Promoting Potential of Duckweed‐Associated Bacteria on Wolffia globosa Biomass Production and Nutritional Quality

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.
Co‐cultivation screening of 116 duckweed‐associated bacteria revealed isolates that enhanced Wolffia globosa biomass up to 77.75%, with Pseudomonas toyotomiensis W5–11 increasing dry weight 3.18‐fold and chlorophyll content 2.75‐fold, demonstrating their potential as biofertilisers for sustainable duckweed production.

Soil and Genotype Shape the Sugarcane Phytobiome for Enhanced Environmental Adaptation

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.
Soil type and sugarcane genotype, differing in their adaptability to low‐fertility soils, interact to shape microbial recruitment and host transcriptional responses. In sandy soils, the better‐adapted genotype IACSP‐5503 recruits more plant growth‐promoting bacteria and activates growth‐related genes, while in clayey soils the less‐adapted IACSP‐6007 ...

Bacterial endophytes from arid land plants regulate endogenous hormone content and promote growth in crop plants: an example of Sphingomonas sp. and Serratia marcescens

Journal of Plant Interactions, 2017
The objective of the present study was to determine the potential plant growth-promoting action of bacterial endophytes isolated from arid land-dwelling plants under normal conditions. Overall, five bacterial endophytes LK11 (Sphingomonas sp. LK11), TP5 (

Bacterial Endophytes and Their Interactions with Hosts

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2006
Recent molecular studies on endophytic bacterial diversity have revealed a large richness of species. Endophytes promote plant growth and yield, suppress pathogens, may help to remove contaminants, solubilize phosphate, or contribute assimilable nitrogen
