摘要

Endophytic fungi (EFs) form intimate associations with plants, residing within their tissues without causing apparent harm. Understanding the evolution of endophytic fungal genomes is essential for uncovering the mechanisms that drive their symbiotic relationships with host plants. This review explores the dynamic interactions between EFs and host plants, focusing on the evolutionary processes that shape their genomes. We highlighted key genomic adaptations promoting their endophytic lifestyle, including genes involved in plant cell wall degradation, secondary metabolite production, and stress tolerance. By combining genomic data with ecological and physiological information, this review provides a comprehensive understanding of the coevolutionary dynamics between EFs and host plants. Moreover, it provides insights that help elucidate the complex interdependencies governing their symbiotic interactions.
