Novel halotolerant fungal endophytes from hypersaline coastal ecosystems as sustainable biostimulants for early growth performance of tomato and wheat under saline stress

This study provides the first evidence of S. fimicola, Clarireedia narcissi, and N. gossypiicola as effective fungal biostimulants under saline stress and highlights the biotechnological potential of non-conventional endophytes from extreme coastal environments as a basis for the rational selection of sustainable bioinoculants for salt-affected agricultural systems.
