Effects and molecular mechanism of endophytic elicitors on the accumulation of secondary metabolites in medicinal plants

mycolabadmin

This review explains how beneficial fungi living inside medicinal plants can boost the production of healing compounds. These endophytic fungi act as natural triggers that activate the plant’s own defense systems, causing it to produce more of the valuable medicinal substances used in traditional and modern medicine. By understanding how this process works, scientists can develop better methods to grow medicinal plants and produce natural drugs more sustainably without depleting wild plant populations.

Arbuscular mycorrhizal networks—A climate-smart blueprint for agriculture

mycolabadmin

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi are beneficial organisms that form partnerships with plant roots to improve crop health and productivity without relying heavily on synthetic chemicals. These fungal networks enhance soil health, help plants survive droughts and diseases, improve nutrient absorption, and redistribute water through the soil. By using proper farming practices like crop diversification and fungal inoculants, farmers can harness these natural networks to increase yields while reducing fertilizer costs and environmental pollution.

Halotolerant Endophytic Fungi: Diversity, Host Plants, and Mechanisms in Plant Salt–Alkali Stress Alleviation

mycolabadmin

Certain fungi living inside plants can help crops survive in salty and alkaline soils that would normally damage them. These special fungi work with plants by regulating salt ions, boosting natural antioxidants, and producing protective compounds. Research shows these fungi partnerships can increase crop yields by 15-40% in challenging saline soils, offering a sustainable alternative to chemical interventions.
