Endophytes as emphatic communication barriers of quorum sensing in Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria—a review

Endophytes are the microorganisms (bacteria or fungi) which live inside the plant without causing any kind of unhealthy symptoms to the host. They are endosymbiont in nature and assist the plant in promoting their growth and development. Similar to bacteria, endophytes also own the quorum sensing (QS) system for communication with each other and use it to organize their gene expression among local populations. Particularly, this paradox is a...
