Endophytic fungi have been proposed as complementary tools within integrated FHB management because they may suppress\n                    <jats:italic>Fusarium<\/jats:italic>\n                    spp. directly, reduce mycotoxin accumulation, compete for ecological niches, or prime host defence responses. This review evaluates the evidence supporting endophyte-mediated FHB control in cereals, distinguishing mechanisms demonstrated in cereal-\n                    <jats:italic>Fusarium<\/jats:italic>\n                    systems from those inferred from broader plant\u2013endophyte studies. We compare application strategies including residue treatment, spike application, seed or rhizosphere inoculation, and postharvest approaches, with emphasis on their practical advantages, limitations, and current level of validation. Available studies indicate that selected fungal endophytes and endophyte-associated fungi can reduce FHB symptoms and, in some cases, deoxynivalenol accumulation under controlled or field-oriented conditions; however, field consistency, formulation, delivery, ecological safety, compatibility with existing management practices, and regulatory requirements remain major barriers to adoption. We conclude that endophytes are unlikely to replace fungicides or host resistance in the near term, but they represent promising components of integrated FHB management when supported by strain-specific evidence, quantitative disease and mycotoxin data, and multi-environment validation.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fpls.2026.1869580","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,31]],"date-time":"2026-07-31T16:32:21Z","timestamp":1785515541000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Endophytic fungi as sustainable tools for Fusarium head blight control in cereals: mechanisms, applications and limitations"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Zuzana","family":"Antalov\u00e1","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Experimental Botany of the Czech Academy of Sciences, Centre of Plant Structural and Functional Genomics","place":["Olomouc, Czechia"]},{"name":"Agrotest Fyto, Ltd.","place":["Krom\u011b\u0159\u00ed\u017e, Czechia"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dominik","family":"Ble\u0161a","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Agrotest Fyto, Ltd.","place":["Krom\u011b\u0159\u00ed\u017e, Czechia"]},{"name":"Department of Experimental Biology, Faculty of Science, Masaryk University","place":["Brno, Czechia"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marta","family":"Zav\u0159elov\u00e1","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Agrotest Fyto, Ltd.","place":["Krom\u011b\u0159\u00ed\u017e, Czechia"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pavel","family":"Matu\u0161insky","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Agrotest Fyto, Ltd.","place":["Krom\u011b\u0159\u00ed\u017e, Czechia"]},{"name":"Department of Botany, Faculty of Science, Palack\u00fd University in Olomouc","place":["Olomouc, Czechia"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jan","family":"\u0160af\u00e1\u0159","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Experimental Botany of the Czech Academy of Sciences, Centre of Plant Structural and Functional Genomics","place":["Olomouc, Czechia"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.biocontrol.2020.104511","article-title":"Selection and screening of fungal endophytes against wheat pathogens","volume":"154","author":"Abaya","year":"2021","journal-title":"Biol.
