Endophytes: Improving Plant Performance
Microorganisms, 2022 Endophytes represent microorganisms that reside within plant tissues, without typically causing adverse effects to the plants, for a substantial part of their life cycle, and are primarily known for their beneficial role to their host plant [...]

Endophytism of Lecanicillium and Akanthomyces [PDF]
Agriculture, 2020 The rise of the holobiont concept confers a prominent importance to the endophytic associates of plants, particularly to species known to be able to exert a mutualistic role as defensive or growth-promoting agents. The finding that many entomopathogenic fungi are harbored within plant tissues and possess bioactive properties going beyond a merely anti ...

Fungal endophytes decrease aphid performance in grasses: effects on virus transmission? [PDF]
, 2003 We examined how endophyte infection and nutrient availability affects the performance of bird-cherry aphid (Rhopalosiphum padi) in meadow fescue (Festuca pratensis).

Grass endophytes in diet protect sibling voles from least weasel predation [PDF]
, 2009 In this study, we first examined how feeding on Neotyphodium endophyte infected (E+) or endophyte free (E-) meadow ryegrass (Scherodonus pratensis) affects body mass and reproduction of sibling voles (Microtus levis), and then whether diet mediates the ...

International Journal of Plant Biology, 2018 Endophytic fungi are an important component that colonizes in healthy tissues of living plants and can be readily isolated from any microbial or plant growth medium. They act as reservoirs of novel bioactive secondary metabolites, such as alkaloids, phenolic acids, quinones, steroids, saponins, tannins, and terpenoids that serve as a potential ...

Metabolic potential of endophytic bacteria
Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 2014 The bacterial endophytic microbiome promotes plant growth and health and beneficial effects are in many cases mediated and characterized by metabolic interactions. Recent advances have been made in regard to metabolite production by plant microsymbionts showing that they may produce a range of different types of metabolites.

Endophytic Fungi in Species of Artemisia [PDF]
Journal of Fungi, 2018 The genus Artemisia, a collection of ~400 hardy herbaceous plant and shrub species, is an important resource contributing to chemistry, medicine, agriculture, industry, and ecology. Its communities of endophytic fungi have only recently begun to be explored.

Dual mutualistic associations in sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia Scop.) : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Agricultural Science in Agronomy at Massey University [PDF]
, 1982 Recent studies established that many legumes, when infected with the appropriate Rhizobium spp. and arbuscular fungi, nodulated better and exhibited greater dinitrogen fixation than plants infected with only the rhizobia.
