“…lolii reduced the severity of leaf spot caused by B. sorokiniana , and the levels of malondialdehyde and hydrogen peroxide were lower [ 43 ]. Similarly, a related study revealed a decrease in the abundance of pathogens due to the increased production of total phenols in Achnatherum sibiricum induced by the colonization of Glomus etunicatum and Epichloë sibirica [ 77 ].…”

In nature, plants frequently experience concurrent colonization with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and grass endophytes (Epichloë). These two fungi assist in mineral uptake and stress tolerance by the host. Despite the abundance of recent studies exploring the individual functions of these fungi in diverse ecosystems, research on the effects of the interaction between these two symbiotic fungi on the host, particularly in agricultural production and ecological conservation. This review provides an overview of the current knowledge regarding the interaction between AMF and grass endophytes and their synergistic effects on host plants in response to abiotic and biotic stress, while also outlining prospects for future research in this field. This knowledge not only enhances our comprehension of complex interaction effects between the two fungi, but also facilitates the optimal utilization of fungal resources, contributing to ecological construction and higher agricultural production.

“…While both guilds of fungi (AMF plus EPF) promoted rice performance, their combined activity was additive at best and often showed antagonism (negative synergy), indicating that competition between both guilds prevented the plant from fully benefitting from both groups of fungal symbionts. This (mildly) negative synergy contrasts with the true synergy that has been reported between shoot endophytes of grasses and AMF [75]; although, also in this case, antagonism has been reported under low nitrogen availability [76]. Vignale et al [77] demonstrated that Epichloë (endophytic fungi) exudates promoted colonization by R. intraradices, as shown by the higher formation of arbuscules; however, a meta-analysis by Zhong et al [78] provides a less clear picture.…”

There is an increasing interest in finding eco-friendly and safe approaches to increase agricultural productivity and deliver healthy foods. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and endophytic fungi (EPF) are important components of sustainable agriculture in view of their ability to increase productivity and various plant secondary metabolites with health-promoting effects. In a pot experiment, our main research question was to evaluate the additive and synergistic effects of an AMF and four root-endophytic fungi on plant performance and on the accumulation of health-promoting secondary compounds. Plant growth varied between the treatments with both single inoculants and co-inoculation of an AMF and four EPF strains. We found that inoculation with a single EPF positively affected the growth and biomass production of most of the plant-endophyte consortia examined. The introduction of AMF into this experiment (dual inoculation) had a beneficial effect on plant growth and yield. AMF, Rhizophagus variabilis KS-02 co-inoculated with EPF, Trichoderma zelobreve PBMP16 increased the highest biomass, exceeding the growth rate of non-inoculated plants. Co-inoculated R. variabilis KS-02 and T. zelobreve PBMP16 had significantly greater beneficial effects on almost all aspects of plant growth, photosynthesis-related parameters, and yield. It also promoted root growth quality and plant nutrient uptake. The phenolic compounds, anthocyanin, and antioxidant capacity in rice seeds harvested from plants co-inoculated with AMF and EPF were dramatically increased compared with those from non-inoculated plants. In conclusion, our results indicated that EPF and AMF contributed to symbiosis in Maled Phai cultivar and were coordinately involved in promoting plant growth performance under a pot trial.
