“…These endophytes reside within plant tissues in a dormant or quiescent state without causing any apparent harm to the host plant, that is, they are not closely associated with the host plant. However, as soon as the chemical changes in the host plant occurs either through injuries or environmental stresses, these EFs then enter the host plant intracellularly through roots shoots or rhizomes ( Carroll, 1988 ; Rodriguez et al, 2008 ; Mishra Y. et al, 2021 ). In Class II endophytes colonization of the host tissue occurs through roots, shoots and rhizomes whereas colonization occurs through shoots only and roots only in class III and class IV endophytes, respectively.…”

Endophytic fungi comprise host-associated fungal communities which thrive within the tissues of host plants and produce a diverse range of secondary metabolites with various bioactive attributes. The metabolites such as phenols, polyketides, saponins, alkaloids help to mitigate biotic and abiotic stresses, fight against pathogen attacks and enhance the plant immune system. We present an overview of the association of endophytic fungal communities with a plant host and discuss molecular mechanisms induced during their symbiotic interaction. The overview focuses on the secondary metabolites (especially those of terpenoid nature) secreted by endophytic fungi and their respective function. The recent advancement in multi-omics approaches paved the way for identification of these metabolites and their characterization via comparative analysis of extensive omics datasets. This study also elaborates on the role of diverse endophytic fungi associated with key agricultural crops and hence important for sustainability of agriculture.

“…They transmit sexually or asexually by producing spores or conidia, which contribute to horizontal propagation, i.e., the induction of symbiosis. These EFs are not closely associated the host plants because they can exist in a quiescent state until they sense the chemical changes from host plants suffering injuries, wounds, or other environmental stresses (Carroll, 1988;Mishra et al, 2021). The colonization of the NC-group in aerial organs is usually local, restricted, limited, and mainly intercellular, but the colonization of this group in roots or the rhizosphere is extensive, organized, systematic, intercellular, and intracellular.…”

Endophytic fungi (EF) are a group of fascinating host-associated fungal communities that colonize the intercellular or intracellular spaces of host tissues, providing beneficial effects to their hosts while gaining advantages. In recent decades, accumulated research on endophytic fungi has revealed their biodiversity, wide-ranging ecological distribution, and multidimensional interactions with host plants and other microbiomes in the symbiotic continuum. In this review, we highlight the role of secondary metabolites (SMs) as effectors in these multidimensional interactions, and the biosynthesis of SMs in symbiosis via complex gene expression regulation mechanisms in the symbiotic continuum and via the mimicry or alteration of phytochemical production in host plants. Alternative biological applications of SMs in modern medicine, agriculture, and industry and their major classes are also discussed. This review recapitulates an introduction to the research background, progress, and prospects of endophytic biology, and discusses problems and substantive challenges that need further study.
