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 …

Dark septate endophytes (DSE) exert a plethora of effects in regulating plant growth,
signalling and stress tolerance. The advent of metagenomics has led to the identification of …

Background The dominant fungi in arid grasslands and shrublands are members of the
Ascomycota phylum. Ascomycota fungi are important drivers in carbon and nitrogen cycling …

Drought stress profoundly affects native desert plants' survival and performance. Among all
the abiotic stresses, drought is considered a major constraint that influences the structure …

Endophytic fungi have been studied in recent decades to understand how they interact with
their hosts, the types of relationships they establish, and the potential effects of this …

Dark septate endophytes (DSEs) comprise a diverse and ubiquitous group of fungal
generalists with broad habitat niches that robustly colonize the roots of plants in stressful …

Dark septate endophytes (DSE) may facilitate plant growth and stress tolerance in stressful
ecosystems. However, little is known about the response of plants to non-host DSE fungi …

This study mainly aimed to investigate the effects of dark septate endophytes
(DSE)(Acrocalymma vagum, Paraboeremia putaminum, and Fusarium acuminatum) on the …

Among abiotic stresses, drought is one of the most important factors limiting plant growth. To
increase their drought tolerance and survival, most plants interact directly with a variety of …

Aims This study aimed to investigate how dark septate endophytes (DSE) from arid habitats
affect host growth and their application to crops and medicinal plants in drought-prone soils …
