Abstract
Endophytes are plant inhabitants acting as its extended genome. The present study highlights the importance of maintaining plant endophytes for sustainable disease resistance in plants. The impact of chemical fungicides and biofungicides was shown on tomato endophytes, in addition to their implications on plant susceptibility to bacterial speck disease. The observations point toward the deleterious effects of systemic pesticide application on endophyte niches that disrupt their diversity and functions compromising plant immunity.
