New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 3381-3395, June 2026.Summary Alien trees reshape belowground fungal communities, but the factors governing the balance between mutualists and pathogens remain unclear. We tested whether residence time, mycorrhizal type, and biogeographical origin shape this balance, and whether alien stands differ from native vegetation. We sampled soils beneath 73 alien tree species in 48

The intricate relationship between plants and their environment has fascinated scientists and naturalists for centuries. As foundational components of ecosystems, plants play a crucial role in maintaining the balance of nature, influencing climate, supporting diverse life forms, and contributing to the Earth's biogeochemical cycles. Equally captivating

A whole-genome comparison of virulence traits in endophytic genomes of enterobacteria [PDF]
, 2014 Endophytes are roughly defined as microorganisms living inside plants without causing them harm. Plant pathogens and endophytes co-exist and often interact with the plant host and within its microbial community.

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 6, Page 3976-3989, June 2026.Summary Biodiversity is known to influence disease risk, yet the pathways of pathogen transmission within plant communities remain poorly understood, especially belowground. In particular, how soil‐borne pathogens move from resident vegetation and soil to colonize new hosts is unresolved.

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 6, Page 3946-3960, June 2026.Summary Ectomycorrhizal fungi (EcMF) are key components of temperate ecosystems, and recent studies suggest that they can also inhabit non‐EcM plant roots as endophytes. We aimed to (1) provide new evidence of EcMF colonization of non‐EcM hosts, (2) offer direct microscopic confirmation of such endophytism and (3) assess factors influencing ...

Seed-Borne Endophytes and Their Host Effects
In the process of long-term co-evolution, endophytes and host plants benefit from and interact with each other, resulting in positive effects such as promoting plant growth, enhancing resistance, producing beneficial secondary metabolites, and negative ...

Trichoderma spp. in innovative substrates for ornamental plants
, 2012 Trichoderma spp. are free-living fungi commonly widespread in soil and root ecosystems. Recent discoveries show them as opportunistic, avirulent plant symbionts as well as parasites of other fungi.

Ecological Roles of Fungal Endophytes [PDF]
, 2016 Endophytic fungi live within tissues of plant hosts without causing symptoms of disease. These fungi are broadly split into the taxonomically and ecologically cohesive Clavicipitaceous endophytes, which infect grasses, and the taxonomically diverse non ...

2014 Scientific Meeting of the Australasian Mycological Society [PDF]
, 2014 Knowledge of the ecology and antimicrobial activity of endophytes within Australian plants is currently limited. This project investigated the endophytes of Pittosporum angustifolium; an Australian plant known for its medicinal use by indigenous ...
