Endophytic Fungi: The Desired Biostimulants for Essential Oil Production

摘要: Endophytic fungi are organisms that reside asymptomatically in the tissues of higher plants without initiating any disease or overt negative symptoms host plants. This type fungus acts as a biostimulant and uses living plant cells biofactory for production different desirable products. While promoting secondary metabolites plants, endophytic can also contribute to improving development, fitness, tolerances against abiotic biotic stresses. However, their diverse distributions populations influenced by several factors, example, genetic conditions, age, environmental conditions hosts. Nowadays, types currently used biological agents induce formation resinous substances response fungal infections, such case Aquilaria trees. Agarwood resin wood is an important high-value product synthesized naturally result certain infections component manufacture essential oils perfumes. review provides up-to-date information about process mechanism agarwood trees well best practices sustainable this Southeast Asia.
