Members of the fungal genus (Ascomycota, Hypocreales, Hypocreaceae) are ubiquitous and commonly encountered as soil inhabitants, plant symbionts, saprotrophs, and mycoparasites. Certain species have been used to control diverse plant diseases and mitigate negative growth conditions. The versatility of 's interactions mainly relies on their ability to engage in inter- and cross-kingdom interactions. Although is by far the most extensively studied fungal biocontrol agent (BCA), with a few species already having been commercialized as bio-pesticides or bio-fertilizers, their wide application has been hampered by an unpredictable efficacy under field conditions. Deciphering the dialogues within and across ecological interactions by identification of involved effectors and their underlying effect is of great value in order to be able to eventually harness 's full potential for plant growth promotion and protection. In this review, we focus on the nature of interactions with plants and pathogens. Better understanding how interacts with plants, other microorganisms, and the environment is essential for developing and deploying -based strategies that increase crop production and protection.
真菌属（子囊菌门，肉座菌目，肉座菌科）的成员无处不在，常见于土壤中，作为植物共生体、腐生菌和真菌寄生菌存在。某些物种已被用于控制多种植物病害并缓解负面生长条件。其相互作用的多功能性主要依赖于它们进行跨界和跨王国相互作用的能力。尽管迄今为止是研究最广泛的真菌生物防治剂（BCA），已有一些物种作为生物农药或生物肥料商业化，但它们在田间条件下不可预测的功效阻碍了其广泛应用。通过识别相关效应子及其潜在效应来解读其生态相互作用中的内部和跨界对话，对于最终充分发挥其促进植物生长和保护的全部潜力具有重要价值。在本综述中，我们关注其与植物和病原体相互作用的本质。更好地理解其与植物、其他微生物和环境的相互作用，对于制定和部署基于其的提高作物产量和保护的策略至关重要。
