The endophytic fungus Serendipita indica helps to reduce Na+ accumulation in plants exposed to salinity
Here is an increasing need to search for alternative strategies to improve tolerance to plant salinity. One of them is to give greater prominence to the microbiota that lives associated with plant roots, specifically the endophytic fungi, which improve the response of the plants to that stress condition.

The type VI secretion system of Rhizobium etli Mim1 has a positive effect in symbiosis with beans
It is known that bacteria interact with other bacteria, with eukaryotes or with the environment, thanks to proteins that secrete outside the cytoplasm. So far, several secretion systems have been described and some act as nano-syringes by directly injecting proteins that are called effectors into other bacteria or into eukaryotic organisms.
