“…Despite extensive work on fungal endophytehalophyte systems (e.g. Bilal et al 2018;Gopi and Jayaprakashvel 2017;Indira et al 2015;Khalmuratova et al 2015;Maciá-Vicente et al 2012;Sun et al 2011a, b), there is limited information on the properties of endophytic fungi from saline habitats and how they contribute to improving the plant performance. Consequently, in this study we investigated a salt-accumulating halophyte, Salicornia europaea L. (family Amaranthaceae), which is one of the most salt tolerant halophytes in the world (Nikalje et al 2017).…”

Aim Plant-endophytic associations exist only when equilibrium is maintained between both partners. This study analyses the properties of endophytic fungi inhabiting a halophyte growing in high soil salinity and tests whether these fungi are beneficial or detrimental when non-host plants are inoculated. Method Fungi were isolated from Salicornia europaea collected from two sites differing in salinization history (anthropogenic and naturally saline) and analyzed for plant growth promoting abilities and non-host plant interactions. Results Most isolated fungi belonged to Ascomycota (96%) including dematiaceous fungi and commonly known plant pathogens and saprobes. The strains were metabolically active for siderophores, polyamines and indole-3-acetic acid (mainly Aureobasidium sp.) with very low activity for phosphatases. Many showed proteolytic, lipolytic, chitinolytic, cellulolytic and amylolytic activities but low pectolytic activity. Different activities between similar fungal species found in both sites were particularly seen for Epiccocum sp., Arthrinium sp. and Trichoderma sp. Inoculating the non-host Lolium perenne with selected fungi increased plant growth, mainly in the symbiont (Epichloë)-free variety. Arthrinium gamsii CR1-9 and Stereum gausapatum ISK3-11 were most effective for plant growth promotion. Conclusions This research suggests that host lifestyle and soil characteristics have a strong effect on endophytic fungi, and environmental stress could disturb the plant-fungi relations. In favourable conditions, these fungi may be effective in facilitating crop production in non-cultivable saline lands.

“…Endophytes can have myriad effects on host plant fitness, with the outcome of interactions ranging from beneficial to antagonistic. They exhibit a range of symbiotic relationships with their host plant and are well known to contribute to plant fitness, which helps the host to better adapt in stress conditions (Gopi and Jayaprakashvel 2017;Hrynkiewicz et al 2019;del Carmen Orozco-Mosqueda et al 2020). Therefore, the application of endophytes in crop productivity has gained importance today.…”
