Abstract:
Agricultural production is heavily affected by pathogenic infections, causing losses at the pre- and post-harvest stages. Current methods used to mitigate such losses rely heavily on chemical fungicides and bactericide agents, which have negative effects on environmental and human health. In this regard, a safe, sustainable alternative is needed to aid in the suppression of pathogenic infections in agricultural systems. One promising new control mechanism is the use of fungal endophytes for combatting both bacterial and fungal infections. Initial research studies have shown the potential of fungal endophytes for such work; however, very little has been researched in this field, and almost all endophytic fungi remain undescribed and thus unknown to science and industry. Therefore, in order to address these knowledge gaps comprehensive libraries of fungal endophytes from tea, coffee, agarwood, and mangoes were built. These fungal endophytic cultures are used, to develop biocontrol agents that can be used in the suppression of pathogenic attacks and/or to develop growth promoters for crop plants.
