Summary of major findings on the biocontrol activities of endophytes

Endophytes	Type of endophytes	Plant Source	Pathogens	Major Findings	References
Ulocladium, Penicillium, Cladosporium, Aspergillus, Fusarium Chaetomium, Alternaria, Paecilomyces, Bipolaris, Trichoderma, Diaporthe, Nigrospora and Phoma.	Endophytic fungi	Strawberry leaves	Third instar larvae of D. fovealis	The result showed that Paecilomyces isolates were found to induce the highest mortality rates on the pathogens	Amatuzzi et al. (2018)
Ochrobactrum sp. (CB361-80) and Pantoea sp (CC372-83)	Endophytic fungi	(Cucumis sativa L.)	Pseudomonas syringae pv. Lachrymans	The result showed that the isolates were able to control angular leaf spot disease in cucumber	Akbaba and Ozaktan (2018)
Serratia (B17B), Enterobacter (E), and Bacillus (IMC8, Y, Ps, Psl, and Prt)	Endophytic bacteria	Papaya, snap bean and flowering dogwood	Phytophthora capsici	Phytophthora blight, caused by Phytophthora capsici, which is the most destructive disease of bell pepper in the United States was successfully reduced invitro	Irabor and Mmbaga (2017)
Leptosphaeria sp., Penicillium simplicissimum, Acremonium sp., and Talaromyces flavus	Endophytic fungi	Cotton	Verticillium dahliae strain Vd080	The Verticillium wilt of cotton was controlled and improvement in cottonseed yield in tested cotton fields was observed.	Yuan et al. (2017)
Endophyte A22F1	Endophytic fungi	Flowering dogwood (Cornus florida)	Phytophthora capsici	The result showed the control of root rot pathogens in pepper.	Mmbaga and Gurung (2018)
