Fungal Endophytes
Fungal endophytes are fungi that live inside plants and do not cause them any harm. They can provide important benefits to their host plants, such as increased growth, greater resistance to disease, and better tolerances to environmental changes, such as drought and salinity. These fungi are also playing an increasingly important role in bioremediation, making them an effective tool in the fight against environmental toxins and pollutants. Fungal endophytes have also been studied for their potential as sources of biological compounds such as antibiotics and enzymes, while their role in the development of new agricultural products is also being explored.
