“…Worldwide, endophytes have attracted a growing interest not only for their enormous biological diversity but also for their capability to biosynthesize biologically interesting secondary metabolites (Prado et al, 2011) (Tan and Zou, 2001). In addition, endophytes play diverse and important functions in the plant development, stress tolerance and adaptation to biotic stress of their host plant.…”

“…Mutualistic endophytic fungi have been the focus of a growing interest worldwide notably because of their beneficial role for plant fitness, such as tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses, nutrient acquisition and increased growth (Prado et al, 2011). Nevertheless, the underlying mechanisms in this phenomenon are still poorly known.…”

“…. There is growing evidence that these fluctuations play major roles in determining the establishment of microbial pathogens in plants [6]. In this regard, many researchers have concentrated on the increasing incidence of fungal leaf diseases on the host owing to its significance with a consequence of the profusion of recognized cases.…”

There is increasing difficulty in identifying new plant leaf diseases as a result of environmental change. There is a need to identify the factors influencing the emergence and the increasing incidences of these diseases. Here, we present emerging fungal plant leaf diseases and describe their environmental speciation. We considered the factors controlling for local adaptation associated with environmental speciation. We determined that the advent of emergent fungal leaf diseases is closely connected to environmental speciation. Fungal pathogens targeting the leaves may adversely affect the entire plant body. To mitigate the injury caused by these pathogens, it is necessary to be able to detect and identify them early in the infection process. In this way, their distribution, virulence, incidence, and severity could be attenuated.

“…Endophytic fungi colonize the living plant tissue without causing significant damage, and include a very diverse group of fungi with different life history. Mutualistic endophytic fungi have been the focus of increasing interest worldwide, mainly because of their beneficial effects on plant suitability, such as tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses, nutrient availability and increased growth (Prado et al 2012). Endophytic fungi drive three essential aids to host plants, such as nutrition, body protection, and adverse replication (Hyde and Soytong 2008).…”

The association between microbes and plant roots involves a complex chemical dialogue featured by IAA and flavonoids in addition to other signals. Current study is focused on the role of IAA and flavonoids as essential elements of the chemical dialogue between an endophytic fungus and maize roots. The strain was isolated from the leaves of Withania somnifera and was identified as Aspergillus fumigatus greenish by 18S rDNA sequence. Culture filtrate of the strain contained phyotstimulant (IAA, ammonia and ACC) and signaling compounds including IAA, flavonoids and flavonols. The strain effectively colonized the maize roots and enhanced its growth. In order, to determine the effect of IAA and flavonoids on the ability of the endophyte to colonize maize roots, we inhibited the release of IAA and flavonoids in maize separately which reduced the colonization of endophyte in maize root to 66% and 55% of the untreated control. Similarly, application of IAA in combination with endophyte enhanced root colonization by 90% in zone of cell division, 66% in the zone of elongation and 30% in the zone of maturation. These findings determined that IAA and flavonoids are among the key players of the complex chemical dialogue between plant root and fungal endophyte.
