An ecological framework for understanding the roles of Epichloë endophytes on plant defenses against fungal diseases
(Elsevier, 2020-11)
Plants harbor a wide diversity of microorganisms in their tissues. Some of them have a long co-evolutionary history with their hosts, likely playing a pivotal role in regulating the plant interaction with other microbes ...
Endophytic fungi from Peruvian highland and lowland habitats form distinctive and host plant-specific assemblages
(Springer NatureCH, 2013-03-15)
Biodiversity and biogeography of leaf-inhabiting endophytic fungi have not been resolved yet. This is because host specificity, life cycles and species concepts, in this heterogeneous ecological guild of plant-associated ...
Symbiotically modified organisms: Nontoxic fungal endophytes in grasses
(Elsevier Science London, 2013-04)
We propose that symbiotically modified organisms (SMOs) should be taken into account in sustainable agriculture. In this opinion article, we present the results of a meta-analysis of the literature, with a particular focus ...
Fungal endophytes: isolation and diversity among nicotiana tabacum (solanaceae) organs
(Akademiai Kiado Rt., 2020-03-01)
The diversity of fungal endophytes is poorly known and particularly in the case of Nicotiana tabacum, the literature is limited. The present study assessed and compared the diversity and distribution of endophytic fungi ...
Mutualism effectiveness of a fungal endophyte in an annual grass is impaired by ozone
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2016-02)
Ozone is an increasing tropospheric contaminant of climate change. Exposure to ozone may affect the symbiotic relationship between plants and beneficial microorganisms. In particular, the herbivore resistance mechanism ...
Hormonal and physiological changes driven by fungal endophytes increase Antarctic plant performance under UV-B radiation
(Elsevier, 2018-08)
Antarctic environments are amongst the most stressful habitats for life on Earth, with high intensities of solar UV-B radiation reaching the land surface. In this study, we evaluated how the photochemical efficiency, cell ...
Subterranean Desert Rodents (Genus Ctenomys) Create Soil Patches Enriched in Root Endophytic Fungal Propagules
(Springer, 2019-02)
Subterranean rodents are considered major soil engineers, as they can locally modify soil properties by their burrowing activities. In this study, the effect of a subterranean rodent of the genus Ctenomys on soil properties ...
Fungal endophyte diversity in Paspalum and effects on plant growth
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2020-07)
In natural ecosystems, plants appear to be in symbiosis with diverse fungal endophytes which can have impacts on plant communities. Paspalum is one of the most important grass genera in South American grasslands. The aim ...
Testing the roles of vertical transmission and drought stress in the prevalence of heritable fungal endophytes in annual grass populations
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2018-08)
Beneficial inherited symbionts are expected to reach high prevalence in host populations, yet many are observed at intermediate prevalence. Theory predicts that a balance of fitness benefits and efficiency of vertical ...
