Cereal production is vital for food security and economic growth, but insect infestations can significantly reduce crop yields quality, leading to substantial losses. Recent pest management strategies in cereal crops have incorporated innovative techniques, such as utilizing mutualistic plant-microbe interactions that trigger molecular defense mechanisms against pests. Entomopathogenic fungi, particularly Beauveria Metarhizium (Hypocreales), are naturally found soil infect a wide range of arthropod These fungi also colonize plants rhizosphere inhabitants endophytes, offering multiple benefits, including enhanced growth resistance. As these promote plant biomass herbivore development, consumption, oviposition, survival the field. Species like bassiana anisopliae shown potential controlling both chewing sap-sucking pests major cereals wheat, rice, maize, sorghum. However, exact through which control endophytes not yet fully understood. This review summarizes biological entomopathogenic fungi-plant their role control, exploring how could be integrated into discussing challenges application.

By uncovering mechanisms, we enhance effectiveness fungi-based contributing more sustainable crops.

Endophytic fungi are widely known as that infect internal tissues of host plants for all or part their life cycles, without causing visible symptoms disease. The present study was carried out to identify and investigate the pathogenicity endophytic residing in husks, silks, kernels corn. were isolated from surface-sterilised kernels, husks healthy corn identified using sequencing multiple markers comprising TEF-1α, β-tubulin, calmodulin, ITS, LSU, ACT. A total 56 isolates belonging 17 species, namely Fusarium pseudocircinatum (n = 8), F. verticillioides 2), andiyazi 4), sacchari 1), mangiferae fujikuroi proliferatum 3), incarnatum Penicillium oxalicum P. polonicum citrinum 11), Aspergillus flavus 10), A. tubingensis Cladosporium tenuissimum Aureobasidium pullulans Curvularia lunata Epicoccum sorghinum 1) identified.

Endophytic microorganisms represent promising solutions to environmental challenges inherent in conventional agricultural practices. This study concentrates on the identification of endophytic bacteria isolated from root, stem, and leaf tissues four Artemisia plant species. Sixty-one strains were sequenced by 16S rDNA. Sequencing revealed diverse genera among different species, including Bacillus, Pseudomonas, Enterobacter, Lysinibacillus. AR11 VR24 obtained roots A. absinthium vulgaris demonstrated significant inhibition Fusarium c.f. oxysporum mycelial growth. In addition, AR11, AR32, CR25 exhibited activity phosphatase solubilization, nitrogen fixation, indole production, highlighting their potential facilitate A comparative analysis species showed that root isolates absinthium, campestris, have beneficial properties for inhibiting pathogen growth enhancing with 100% similarity Bacillus thuringiensis, could be considered a candidate further investigation as microbial biofertilizers. finding highlights environmentally friendly alternatives chemical pesticides, thereby contributing sustainable crop protection

Indole acetic acid (IAA) is one of the prime communicator playing a chief role in interaction between host plant and endophytes. IAA produced by endophytes primarily contributes to growth development. Here, we optimized production an endophytic fungus Diaporthe terebinthifolli GG3F6 isolated from asymptomatic rhizome Glycyrrhiza glabra employing response surface methodology (RSM) exploring its effect on biology. The revealed 1.1 fold increases accumulation. maximum (121.20 μg/mL) was achieved using tryptophan substrate (1 mg/mL) Potato dextrose broth (48 g/L) adjusted pH 12 incubated at 35 °C for 7 days. significantly low p-value (p < 0.0001) experiment propounded that model best fits experimental data, independent variables have considerable effects IAA.

Maize (Zea mays L.) is an important cereal crop species for food, feedstock and industrial material. seeds host a suitable ecosystem endophytic bacteria, facilitating seed germination seedling growth. However, the inheritance, diversity potential function of bacteria in maize remain largely unexplored. In this study, inbred line WU109 collected during three consecutive seasons were identified using 16S rDNA sequencing. Core community composition was essentially consistent across generations two planting locations. total, 212 operational taxonomic units (OTUs) belonging to 11 phyla identified, among which proteobacteria dominant phylum. Fifty-six OTUs conserved generations. Within them, 16 core components Ralstonia solanacearum, Delftia tsuruhatensis, Bacillu svelezensis Shigella boydii, accounting 60% total abundance OTUs. COG KEGG analyses showed that mainly enriched metabolic processes, especially amino acid, carbohydrate energy metabolism. Taken together, results suggested likely co-shaped by both genetic determination environment, while constitutes endophytes due transgenerational transmission. Establishing mutualistic link between its enables exploitation enhancing production. This finding provides reference better understand inheritance maize.
