The purpose of this work was to assess how salt-tolerant wheat endophytic fungi promoted the growth of salt-sensitive wheat after inoculation. The endophytic fungal assemblages from salt-tolerant wheat genotypes (KRL-213, KRL-210 and KRL-19) and from salt-sensitive wheat genotype (PBW-343) were characterized, identified and determined for the current study. Of the fifty fungal isolates collected from both the salt-tolerant and the salt-sensitive wheat genotypes, 8 isolates recovered from salt-tolerant varieties were found to be resistant at high salt concentrations.

Decolorization and degradation of textile dye by endophytic fungi stand to be a profitable and viable alternative over conventional methods with respect to eco-friendliness, cost-effectiveness, and non-hazardous nature. One of the active fungal endophytes Colletotrichum gloeosporioides isolated from plant Thevetia peruviana (Pers.) K.

Since endophytic fungi are pivotal sources of various bioactive natural compounds, the present study is aimed to investigate the antioxidant compounds of the endophytic fungus Nigrospora sphaerica isolated from a pantropical weed, Euphorbia hirta L. The fungus was fermented in four different media and each filtered broth was sequentially extracted in various solvents. Crude extracts collected from different solvents were subjected to phytochemical analysis and antioxidant activity.
