Salinization of soil with sodium chloride ions inhibits plant functions, causing reduction of
yield of crops. Salt tolerant microorganisms have been studied to enhance crop growth …

Soil salinization adversely affects plant growth and has become one of the major limiting
factors for crop productivity worldwide. The conventional approach, breeding salt-tolerant …

Piriformospora indica, a member of the newly created order Sebacinales, is extremely
versatile in its mycorrhizal associations and its ability to promote plant growth. P. indica is …

A cultivable endophytic fungus, Piriformospora indica, improves growth and enhances stress
tolerance of host plants, but the underlying mechanisms remain unknown. We hypothesized …

Banana (Musa spp.), one of the most important fruits worldwide, is generally cold sensitive.
In this study, by using the cold-sensitive banana variety Tianbaojiao (Musa acuminate) as …

Modern horticultural crop production systems target the exploitation of sustainable
techniques for crop improvement while maintaining balance with the environment. Several …

An endophytic fungus was isolated from the roots of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum Mill) and
identified as Penicillium janthinellum LK5. The culture filtrate (CF) of P. janthinellum …

Endophytic fungi are known to be present in roots of salt marsh plants, but their ecological
role in this symbiosis is still largely unknown. Generally considered parasitic or saprophytic …

The beneficial endophytic microorganisms have received significant attention in agriculture
because of their exceptional capabilities to facilitate functions like nutrient enrichment, water …

Two new strains of endophytic fungi were isolated from the bark of Moringa peregrina and
identified as Aspergillus caespitosus LK12 and Phoma sp. LK13. These endophytes were …
