Fabaceae is considered the third largest family of the plant kingdom, comprising of a large number of plants, belonging to 650 genera and 20,000 species of plants. Out of the various plant species that are reported in the family Fabaceae, many of the species have been reported to exhibit diverse pharmacological activities and are of economic importance to agriculturists and scientists across the globe. Studies over the last few decades have unraveled a lot of concrete information about different plants, ranging from the mutualistic interdependence of plants and microbes for their survival to the innumerable benefits of plants in the sectors of agriculture, food industry, medicine, and healthcare. The survival and effective maintenance of plant homeostasis is largely regulated by the diverse microbial population that co-exists in symbiotic relationships with plants. This endophytic microbial population can be either categorized as endophytic bacteria or endophytic fungi. The studies over the past decades have highlighted the crucial role of both endophytic bacteria and fungi in the growth and development of plants. This review explores the ameliorative roles of endophytic fungi in alleviating biotic and abiotic stresses in plants. Additionally, it highlights the vast diversity of secondary metabolites produced by these fungi and their potential applications. Secondary metabolites exhibit a wide range of biologically significant activities, including anticancer, antimicrobial, antimalarial, and nematicidal properties, which hold substantial importance in therapeutic and agricultural applications. Furthermore, the role of various endophytic fungi of the Fabaceae family has been shown in phytoremediation.
豆科被认为是植物界的第三大科,由大量植物组成,隶属于650个属、20000种植物。在豆科报道的各种植物物种中,许多物种已被报道具有多种药理活性,对全球的农学家和科学家具有重要的经济意义。在过去几十年的研究中,已经揭示了许多关于不同植物的确切信息,从植物与微生物为生存而形成的互利共生关系到植物在农业、食品工业、医药和医疗保健领域的无数益处。植物体内稳态的维持和有效调节在很大程度上受与植物共生的各种微生物种群的调控。这种内生微生物种群可分为内生细菌或内生真菌。过去几十年的研究突出了内生细菌和真菌在植物生长发育中的关键作用。本综述探讨了内生真菌在缓解植物生物和非生物胁迫方面的改善作用。此外,还强调了这些真菌产生的次生代谢产物的巨大多样性及其潜在应用。次生代谢产物表现出广泛的具有生物学意义的活性,包括抗癌、抗菌、抗疟和杀线虫特性,这些特性在治疗和农业应用中具有重要意义。此外,豆科的各种内生真菌在植物修复中的作用也已得到证实。
