The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Endophyte research: going beyond isolation and metabolite documentation (2013, background): “Such a within-tissue succession of endophytes may have other consequences; some endophytes produce phytohormones (Stone and Petrini, 1997; Nassar et al., 2005) and thus may influence leaf senescence and leaf fall in some cases.”
Effect of soil amendment with yeasts as bio-fertilizers on the growth and productivity of sugar beet (2013, background): “Recently, it became a positive alternative to chemical fertilizers safely used for human, animal and environment (Omran, 2000).”
Potential of yeasts as biocontrol agents of soil-borne fungal plant pathogens and as plant growth promoters (2006, background): “The isolates obtained belong to the genera Pichia, Rhodotorula, Cryptococcus, and Williopsis (Nakamura et al. 1991; Larran et al. 2002; Nassar et al. 2005).”
Colonisation of barley roots by endophytic Fusarium equiseti and Pochonia chlamydosporia: effects on plant growth and disease. (2009, background): “…and this effect can include phenomena such as direct production of specific substances [i.e. phytohormones such as indole-3-acetic acid (IAA)] (Nassar et al., 2005), assistance in mineral supply and nutrient uptake, especially of phosphorus, from soil (Jumpponen & Trappe, 1998; Sieber, 2002),…”
