Maize is a crucial staple crop that ensures global food security by supplying essential nutrients. However, heavy metal (HM) contamination inhibits maize growth, reduces output, and affects security. Some endophytic fungi (EFs) in seeds have the potential to enhance growth increase dry biomass, offering solution mitigate negative effect of HM contamination. Using these functional EFs could help maintain production ensure safety HM-contaminated areas. In present study, diversity corn grains from various areas China was studied through culture-dependent culture-independent methods. We tested plant growth-promoting (PGP) traits several dominant culturable isolates evaluated effects twenty-one pot experiments. Both studies showed increased richness grain affected most endophytes. Nigrospora Fusarium were prevalent endophytes Conversely, Cladosporium spp. isolated non-contaminated Different this, Saccharomycopsis sites, while Neofusicoccum Sarocladium according analysis. PGP trait tests indicated 70% (forty-two) exhibited phosphorus solubilization, IAA production, or siderophore activity. Specifically, 90% sites better results than 45% sites. The benefit on host further experiments, which all improve growth. Among them, strains derived including AK18 (Nigrospora), AK32 (Beauveria), SD93 (Gibberellia), SD64 (Fusarium), had notable enhancing biomass shoots roots under Cd stress. speculate higher ratio may explain their competitiveness such extreme environments. show high properties, but they can also be phytopathogenic. Therefore, it evaluate pathogenic properties for crops before considering practical use agriculture.
