Role of endophytes in management of horticultural crops.
Review in Planta, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
MAIN
conclusionThis review highlights endophyte occurrence and diversity, mechanisms, signaling crosstalks, and innovative coating applications, positioning endophytes as eco-friendly tools bridging fundamental research and practical crop protection in horticultural crops. Endophytes are microorganisms that asymptomatically reside in plant tissues proving to be valuable partners in the realm of sustainable horticultural disease management. Their prevalence and diversity on horticultural crops indicate that there is a large pool of such microbial taxa with underused potential for promoting plant health. These endophytes use a variety of mechanisms in their fight against pathogens, including direct antagonism, niche and nutrient competition, and triggering of host defense mechanisms. Signaling crosstalk of the endophytes with the host plants can reprogram pathways like jasmonic acid, salicylic acid, and ethylene, leading to primed immunity and enhanced stress tolerance. The creation of enzymes (chitinase, glucanase) and bioactive metabolites is the main mechanism of pathogen growth suppression, while antimicrobial compounds and secondary metabolites are aimed at defense. Recent advances point out the promising use of endophytic formulations as bio-coatings on fruits to limit their post-harvest diseases, thus making the endophytic concept an eco-friendly substitute for synthetic chemicals. Advancements in the development and commercialization of endophyte-based coating materials demonstrate that they hold much promise as a low-cost and environmentally benign disease management strategy for horticultural industries.The aim of this review is to summarize recent insights into the diversity, molecular and biochemical mechanisms of action against pathogens, and translational potential of the metabolites from endophytes. It also calls attention to the endophytic coating as a new type of endophyte application that represents a bridge between basic research and an actual commercial coating. Taken collectively, this knowledge places endophytes as attractive parts of eco-sound, biologically initiated system of crop protection.
