The escalating global food demand driven by a gradually expanding human population necessitates strategies to improve agricultural productivity favorably and mitigate crop yield loss caused various stressors (biotic abiotic). Biotic stresses are phytopathogens, pests, nematodes, along with abiotic like salt, heat, drought, heavy metals, which pose serious risks security productivity. Presently, the traditional methods relying on synthetic chemicals have led ecological damage through unintended impacts non-target organisms emergence of microbes that resistant them. Therefore, addressing these challenges is essential for economic, environmental, public health concerns. present review supports sustainable alternatives, emphasizing possible application fungal endophytes as innovative eco-friendly tools in plant stress management. Fungal demonstrate capabilities managing plants against biotic via direct or indirect enhancement plants’ innate immunity. Moreover, they contribute elevated photosynthesis rates, stimulate growth, facilitate nutrient mineralization, produce bioactive compounds, hormones, enzymes, ultimately improving overall resistance. In conclusion, harnessing potentiality represents promising approach toward sustainability practices, offering effective alternative solutions reduce reliance chemical treatments address posed stresses. This ensures long-term promotes environmental economic viability agriculture.

Fabaceae is considered the third largest family of plant kingdom, comprising a large number plants, belonging to 650 genera and 20,000 species plants. Out various that are reported in Fabaceae, many have been exhibit diverse pharmacological activities economic importance agriculturists scientists across globe. Studies over last few decades unraveled lot concrete information about different ranging from mutualistic interdependence plants microbes for their survival innumerable benefits sectors agriculture, food industry, medicine, healthcare. The effective maintenance homeostasis largely regulated by microbial population co-exists symbiotic relationships with This endophytic can be either categorized as bacteria or fungi. studies past highlighted crucial role both fungi growth development review explores ameliorative roles alleviating biotic abiotic stresses Additionally, it highlights vast diversity secondary metabolites produced these potential applications. Secondary wide range biologically significant activities, including anticancer, antimicrobial, antimalarial, nematicidal properties, which hold substantial therapeutic agricultural Furthermore, has shown phytoremediation.

Postharvest disease management is vital to increase the quality and productivity of crops. As part crop protection, people used different agrochemicals agricultural practices manage postharvest diseases. However, widespread use in pest control has detrimental effects on consumer health, environment, fruit quality. To date, approaches are being The microorganisms becoming an eco-friendly environmentally sounds approach. There many known reported biocontrol agents, including bacteria, fungi, actinomycetes. Nevertheless, despite abundance publications sustainable agriculture requires substantial research, effective adoption, comprehension interactions between plants, pathogens, environment. accomplish this, this review made effort locate summarize earlier function microbial agents against Additionally, aims investigate mechanisms, their modes operation, potential future applications for bioagents, as well difficulties encountered during commercialization process.

Endophytic fungi (EFs) have emerged as promising modulators of plant growth and stress tolerance in agricultural ecosystems. This review synthesizes the current knowledge on role EFs enhancing adaptation crops to abiotic stress. Abiotic stresses, such drought, salinity, extreme temperatures, pose significant challenges crop productivity worldwide. shown remarkable potential alleviating adverse effects these stresses. Through various mechanisms, including synthesis osmolytes, production stress-related enzymes, induction defense enhance resilience stressors. Moreover, promote nutrient uptake modulate hormonal balance plants, further plants. Recent advancements molecular techniques facilitated identification characterization stress-tolerant EF strains, paving way for their utilization practices. Furthermore, symbiotic relationship between plants offers ecological benefits, improved soil health a reduced dependence chemical inputs. However, remain understanding complex interactions host well scaling up application diverse systems. Future research should focus elucidating mechanisms underlying endophytic-fungal-mediated developing sustainable strategies harnessing production.

This review explores the diverse applications and therapeutic potential of endophytic microbes, emphasizing both fungal bacterial endophytes. These microorganisms reside within plant tissues without causing harm play an important role in enhancing growth, nutrient acquisition, resistance to pathogens. They produce phytohormones, facilitate uptake, solubilize essential nutrients, fix nitrogen, improve stress tolerance. Furthermore, endophytes contribute agricultural sustainability by producing growth regulators, providing biocontrol against pathogens through antimicrobial compounds, competing for resources. Integrating microbes into practices can reduce reliance on chemical fertilizers pesticides, promoting eco-friendly sustainable farming. highlights dual fostering agriculture novel applications. By minimizing dependence inputs, support environmental health while boosting crop yields. The synthesis underscores importance leveraging tackle global food security challenges.

There has been renewed interest in the application of endophytic fungi to control phytopathogenic fungi, which cause significant damage crop health, ultimately leading losses agricultural productivity. Endophytic inhibit pathogens via different modes action—mycoparasitism, competition (for nutrients and ecological niches), antibiosis, induction plant defense—thus demonstrating ability a wide range growth phases habitats. However, many studies have conducted under laboratory conditions, there is huge lack real field testing was performed. Aspergillus, Clonostachys, Coniothyrium, Trichoderma, Verticillium proven be most effective fungal biocontrol agents. Trichoderma regarded as promising group commercial formulations. In this study, we attempted emphasize significance endophytes controlling while reporting recent advances biology application.
