endophytes
Endophytes are microorganisms, primarily bacteria and fungi, that inhabit plant tissues without causing disease, forming relationships that exist across virtually all plant species. These microbial symbionts can enhance plant growth, improve nutrient uptake, and increase tolerance to environmental stresses such as drought and pest pressure. Understanding endophyte-plant relationships is crucial for developing more resilient crops and advancing sustainable agricultural practices.
