Schematic illustration depicting routes adopted by endophytes for successful colonization in the host plant. A Recruitment mechanism of potential endophytes and its resultant diversity gradient in the host plant. B Crosstalk between host plant and endophytes leads to host plant nutrient and defence management. root exudates (REs), N-Acyl homoserine lactone (AHL), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), siderophore (Sid), secondary metabolites (SMs), indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), cytokinin (CK), gibberellic acids (GAs), reactive oxygen species (ROS), 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC), jasmonic acid (JA), ethylene (ET), salicylic acid (SA), pathogenesis-related (PR), type III secretion system (T3SS), type IV secretion system (T6SS), microbe-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs), quorum sensing (QS)
