Abstract:

To deepen the understanding of the interaction between plants and entophytic fungi, and better use the entophytic fungi in the future, the diversity, biological functions, ecological functions and resource utilization of endophytic fungi in plants were reviewed. Endophytic fungi are a kind of symbiotic fungal groups in plants, and they live and interact with plants in roots, stems, leaves and other parts of plants. They can promote plant growth and development through various ways, including providing nutrients needed by plants, enhancing plant disease resistance and improving plant adaptability to adversity. This paper laid a foundation for the effective use of entophytic fungi in the future, and provided a better theoretical basis and practical guidance for plant ecology and agricultural production.

Key words: plants, endophytic fungi, symbiosis, diversity, biological function, ecological functions, resource utilization
