Plant-associated fungi often drive plant invasion success by increasing host growth, disease resistance, and tolerance to environmental stress. A high abundance of Colletotrichum asymptomatically accumulated in the leaves Ageratina adenophora. In this study, we aimed clarify whether three genetically distinct endophytic isolates (AX39, AX115, AX198) activate invasive defenses against We observed that, absence pathogen attack stress, foliar endophyte reduced photosynthesis-related physiological indicators (i.e., chlorophyll content soluble sugar content), increased resistance-related total phenolic (TP) peroxidase (POD) activity), decreased biomass A. However, strains exhibit positive effects on resistance certain attacks. Strains AX39 AX115 promoted but AX198 attenuated pathogenic G56 Y122 (members Mesophoma ageratinae). contrast, weakened, had no effect on, strain S188 (Mesophoma speciosa; Didymellaceae family). also found that endophytes increase adenophora under drought or nutrient Strain significantly stem length aboveground dry weight, length, Our results revealed there are response biotic abiotic stresses, which may be beneficial for its invasion.
