“…"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]. Extensive exploration of beneficial microorganisms from poorly explored habitats is still in its nascent stage, and the active search for better microbial isolates from exotic habitats with prospective sources of bioproducts could divulge some novel and promising isolates with unique functionalities suitable for use in sustainable agriculture practices [55].…”

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.
