Abstract

Endophytic fungi arenaturally adapted to within the tissue of the plants without harmful effect to the host plants. It protects the host plants through secretion of secondary metabolites under the stress condition. Endophytic fungi are asymbiotic association. Hence, biological interaction is also useful to the human beings due to this interaction create the novelty to explore the biotechnological applications in field of pharmaceutics, agricultures and industries Therefore, further research to understanding the mechanism of interaction involved between endophytic fungi and plants is needed.
