Mercury-driven fungal endophytic community and the role of endophytes in rice grain mercury accumulation

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: sp. CHJ27 improved production by 72.6 %-80.5 % compared to controls. These findings highlight promising fungal endophytes for mitigating grain Hg contamination and improving yield. Future work should elucidate the mechanisms governing the selective enrichment of grain endophytes to deepen understanding of plant-endophyte interactions.
