Abstract

Orchids are diverse group of plant species important for their medicinal value. Endophytic fungi are important component of micro-ecosystem in orchids. Population structure and distribution pattern of fungal endophytes are significantly affected by several components which include ecological environment and genetic constitution of the plant harbouring them. Recent research of medicinally important orchids has centred on identification and characterization of endophytic fungi that somehow influence the development and vigour of the host along with the production of important bioactive compounds. The explored group of fungal endophytes are scanty, which implies that the scope of discovering novel species or genetic variants and realizing their importance in host fitness and stress tolerance is crucial. Also, the room of mining bioactive compounds from these fungi associated with medicinal orchids is abundant. Optimization strategies for enhanced and sustainable production of bioactive compounds from fungal endophytes are also available to maximize their utility commercially. Thus, the study of these associations gives insights of the host-microbe interaction to understand the ideal production of new and important fungal metabolites for sustainable development of bioproducts.
