The concept of this review underscores a significant shift towards sustainable agricultural practices, particularly from the view point of microbial biotechnology and nanotechnology. The global food insecurity that causes increasing ecological imbalances is exacerbating food insecurity, and this has necessitated eco-friendly agricultural innovations. The chemical fertilizers usage aims at boosting crop yields, but with negative environmental impact, thus pushing for alternatives. Microbial biotechnology and nanotechnology fields are gaining traction for their potential in sustainable agriculture. Endophytic fungi promise to synthesize nanoparticles (NPs) that can enhance crop productivity and contribute to ecosystem stability. Leveraging on endophytic fungi could be key to achieving food security goals. Endophytic fungi explore diverse mechanisms in enhancing plant growth and resilience to environmental stresses. The application of endophytic fungi in agricultural settings is profound with notable successes. Hence, adopting interdisciplinary research approaches by combining mycology, nanotechnology, agronomy, and environmental science can meaningfully serve as potential pathways and hurdles for the commercialization of these biotechnologies. Therefore, setting regulatory frameworks for endophytic nanomaterials use in agriculture, by considering their safety and environmental impact assessments will potentially provide future research directions in addressing the current constraints and unlock the potential of endophytic fungi in agriculture.

Medicinal plants often harbour various endophytic actinomycetia, which are well known for their potent antimicrobial properties and plant growth-promoting traits. In this study, we isolated an endophytic actinomycetia, A13, from the leaves of tea clone P312 from the MEG Tea Estate, Meghalaya, India. The isolate A13 was identified as Streptomyces sp.

Global citrus production has been severely affected by citrus Huanglongbing (HLB) disease, caused by Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (Clas), and the development of effective control methods are crucial. This study employed antimicrobial lipopeptide and phytohormone complex powder (L1) prepared from the fermentation broth of the endophytic plant growth promoting bacterium (PGPB) of strain MG-2 to treat Liberibacter asiaticus (Las)-infected ' 'Chun Jian' plants. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and PCR were employed for disease detection.

Hairy vetch ( Roth), a leguminous plant with nitrogen-fixing ability, is used as a cover crop and has the potential to suppress weeds and plant diseases. The microbial composition, particularly fungal endophytes, which may be related to the beneficial functions of this crop, has not been previously studied. In this study, we analyzed the diversity and function of culturable fungal endophytes associated with hairy vetch from eight locations across Japan.

Chemical investigation of the ethyl acetate extract of the endophytic fungus Aspergillus terreus AArEF2 found in the fresh leaves of Artemisia arborescens L. led to isolation of five previously undescribed butenolides, asperterreunolides A-E (1-5), along with the known metabolite butyrolactone IV (6). The structure elucidation of these metabolites was established by detailed spectroscopic analyses (1D, 2D NMR and HR-ESI-MS analyses).
