Endophytic fungi exhibit beneficiary symbiotic relationship with various parts of its host plant and positively affect substantial number of activities in the host plant like hormone production, nutrient procurement and its biosynthesis for proper growth and development in plants. The interaction of endophytic fungi with plants drives microbes to secrete metabolites that help plants to adapt to abiotic-biotic stress factors and protects plants from herbivore and pathogenic invasion, and in turn, plants supply nutrients and habitat to the endophytic fungi. Fungal endophytes have been reported to secrete various kinds of extracellular enzymes like hydrolytic enzymes which provide resistance mechanism to defend against host plant’s response and are capable of degrading many organic compounds, enzymes capable of degrading organic contaminants and reduce level of both phytotoxicity and evapotranspiration of volatile contaminants, as a way to contribute in the process of phytoremediation. Endophytic fungi possess the capability to synthesize a range of bioactive compounds that exhibit different biological activities such as antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-tumour, anti-diabetic, anti-hypercholesterolemic and anti-proliferative properties, thus showing satisfactory demands in the pharmaceutical, medical, biotechnology, agriculture and other industrial fields. Another significant role played by endophytic fungi is in biotransformation process: Fungi isolated from roots and shoots of Aphelandra tetragona plant have been found capable of transforming benzoxazinones 2-benzoxazolinone to 2-hydroxy-1,4-benzoxazin-3-one. Studies revealed that inoculation of endophytic fungal strains in plants enhanced water stress tolerance ability, in addition to increase in soluble sugar quantity, proline quantity, enzymatic activity and reduction in reactive oxygen species content and electrical conductivity. Fungal endophytes not only conttributes in various environmental factors but can also provide opportunities in development of novel compounds that would help in meeting increasing requirements globally.

摘要

Endophytic fungi exhibit beneficiary symbiotic relationship with various parts of its host plant and positively affect substantial number of activities in the host plant like hormone production, nutrient procurement and its biosynthesis for proper growth and development in plants. The interaction of endophytic fungi with plants drives microbes to secrete metabolites that help plants to adapt to abiotic-biotic stress factors and protects plants from herbivore and pathogenic invasion, and in turn, plants supply nutrients and habitat to the endophytic fungi. Fungal endophytes have been reported to secrete various kinds of extracellular enzymes like hydrolytic enzymes which provide resistance mechanism to defend against host plant’s response and are capable of degrading many organic compounds, enzymes capable of degrading organic contaminants and reduce level of both phytotoxicity and evapotranspiration of volatile contaminants, as a way to contribute in the process of phytoremediation. Endophytic fungi possess the capability to synthesize a range of bioactive compounds that exhibit different biological activities such as antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-tumour, anti-diabetic, anti-hypercholesterolemic and anti-proliferative properties, thus showing satisfactory demands in the pharmaceutical, medical, biotechnology, agriculture and other industrial fields. Another significant role played by endophytic fungi is in biotransformation process: Fungi isolated from roots and shoots of Aphelandra tetragona plant have been found capable of transforming benzoxazinones 2-benzoxazolinone to 2-hydroxy-1,4-benzoxazin-3-one.
