Abstract
Usage of beneficial microorganisms, commonly named as endophytes, is a novel approach to control the antibiotic resistance of pathogenic microorganisms both in agriculture and medicine. In addition, rising cost of production of chemical based drugs and environmental pollution caused by chemical fertilizers and pesticides is another fact to incline towards natural alternatives. Endophytic fungi are important source of novel compounds to be exploited in the sector of agriculture and medicine. The current paper explains the applications of endophytic fungi and the activity of various compounds produced by these microorganisms in the sectors of agriculture and medicine.
