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

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.

Diversity and bioprospecting activities of endophytic Fungi associated with different Egyptian medicinal plants

Scientists studied fungi that live inside Egyptian medicinal plants and found that one type called Aspergillus terreus produces compounds with powerful healing properties. These compounds can fight harmful bacteria, reduce oxidative damage, and even kill cancer cells while being safe for normal cells. This discovery suggests that fungi living in medicinal plants could be valuable sources of new medicines, offering hope for developing new treatments for infections and cancer.
