“…"Agriculturally Important Microorganisms (AIMs) represent a wide range of microorganisms which include Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR), Biocontrol Agents (BCA), Plant Growth-Promoting Fungi (PGPF), Actinomycetes, Mycorrhiza, and Endophytes" [53]. Microorganisms secreting key hormones, essential enzymes, prime factors, and active metabolites like phosphatases, siderophores, indoleacetic acid, antimicrobial metabolites of practical significance to sustainable agriculture and other plant growth-promoting traits of cold-adapted microorganisms can be properly utilized to naturally enhance the productivity of cultivated crops in these regions [54].…”

Changing understanding of endophytes in the realm of agriculture suggests the possibility of improving soil health and productivity, as well as the overall environmental sustainability of agriculture. These non-pathogenic microorganisms living in a plant are capable of conferring stress tolerance, promoting growth, and suppressing pathogens. Nevertheless, navigating regulatory barriers and streamlining application techniques pose challenges. To maximize their agricultural utility, future research should focus on exploring new strains, optimizing application techniques, and integrating endophytes into crop breeding programs. Leveraging endophytes may further lead to the developing of sustainable agriculture and reduce many concerns related to global food security.

“…It is also important to mention that fungi manifest significant tolerance to low water activity (a w ) values and high osmotic pressure as proved when growing on solid substrates [18], preserving at the same time high metabolic activity. In soil, 1.5 million fungal species can be found free-living in the bulk soil or as endophytes occupying plant tissues, the mycorrhizae being the most studied beneficial fungus-plant association [19].…”

The application of plant beneficial microorganisms is widely accepted as an efficient alternative to chemical fertilizers and pesticides. It was shown that annually, mycorrhizal fungi and nitrogen-fixing bacteria are responsible for 5 to 80% of all nitrogen, and up to 75% of P plant acquisition. However, while bacteria are the most studied soil microorganisms and most frequently reported in the scientific literature, the role of fungi is relatively understudied, although they are the primary organic matter decomposers and govern soil carbon and other elements, including P-cycling. Many fungi can solubilize insoluble phosphates or facilitate P-acquisition by plants and, therefore, form an important part of the commercial microbial products, with Aspergillus, Penicillium and Trichoderma being the most efficient. In this paper, the role of fungi in P-solubilization and plant nutrition will be presented with a special emphasis on their production and application. Although this topic has been repeatedly reviewed, some recent views questioned the efficacy of the microbial P-solubilizers in soil. Here, we will try to summarize the proven facts but also discuss further lines of research that may clarify our doubts in this field or open new perspectives on using the microbial and particularly fungal P-solubilizing potential in accordance with the principles of the sustainability and circular economy.
