Plant Growth Promoting Potential of Endophytic Fungi Isolated from Solanum pimpinellifolium, a Wild and Underutilized Tomato of North East India.
Article in Current microbiology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The uses of chemical fertilizers and pesticides have resulted into severe negative consequences to human health and the environment. Besides, there is growing demand by the consumers for organic and safer food products. In this context, endophytic fungi have been well recognized as eco-friendly alternatives to chemicals due to their numerous beneficial effects on plant growth and development. In this study, endophytic fungi were isolated from Solanum pimpinellifolium, a wild and underutilized tomato of North East India and determined for their plant growth promoting traits. Out of the total isolates, 17.86% showed indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) production, 39.28% solubilize phosphate, 39.28% were able to produce siderophores, 53.57% and 57.14% of the isolates assimilate ammonia and fix nitrogen respectively. Amongst them, two isolates identified as Colletotrichum gloeosporioides and Penicillium sumatraense showed promising PGP activity. A pot experiment conducted in greenhouse on cultivated tomato to evaluate the effect of the isolates on growth promotion ability significantly enhanced the growth and biochemical parameters of tomato plant as compared to the control. Further, experimented plant treated with C. gloeosporioides showed considerable increase in both the root and shoot lengths. GC-MS analysis of the fungal extract of C. gloeosporioides showed presence of IAA and other bioactive compounds. Purification of the fungal metabolites revealed presence of indole-3-acetamide (IAM) as a major pure compound. IAM is known to be the precursor of IAA in auxin biosynthetic pathway. Our study indicated that wild and underutilized crops harbour distinct endophytic fungi with immense potential for application as bioinoculants to increase crop productivity in sustainable agriculture practices.
