Abstract
Abstract Endophytic fungi exert beneficial effects on enhancing plant seed germination, increasing the growth of shoots and roots, strengthening tolerance of host plants to abiotic and biotic stress, and inducing bioactive metabolite aggregation in the host plant. Hence, biological strategies using endophytic fungi are promising and effective to augment the quality of medicinal herbs. Here, we isolated 34 endophytes from the corms of Crocus sativus collected from Hecun Village, Zhejiang Province, China. Two strains, namely CS04 and CS29, symbiotically enhanced the biomass of C. sativus; induced biosynthesis and accumulation of its specialized metabolites, including crocin I and II, and antagonized the growth of pathogenic fungi for preventing rot disease. A multilocus phylogenetic analysis identified CS04 and CS29 as Talaromyces sp. and Penicillium sp., respectively. Treatment with CS04 and CS29 increased the activities of stress-related enzymes. Thus, both CS04 and CS29 are remarkable fungal resources for enhancing plant growth and specialization of metabolite accumulation in C. sativus for agricultural cultivation.
