Endophytes can serve as plant growth promoters as they secret a vast array of phytohormones to support host plants. Keeping the growth promoting activity of the endophytes in view, two endophytic fungi, Asprgillus fumigatus TS1 and Fusarium proliferatum BRL1 have been isolated from the roots of Oxal...
