Spatial and temporal variation in fungal endophyte communities isolated from cultivated cotton (Gossypium hirsutum).

PLoS ONE, 2013
Studies of fungi in upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) cultivated in the United States have largely focused on monitoring and controlling plant pathogens. Given increasing interest in asymptomatic fungal endophytes as potential biological control agents,

A Systematic Approach to Field Testing of Biological Products for Horticulture Is Required to Improve Food Security

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Food security challenges require immediate action to increase food production. Many biological products derived from plant, animal or microbial sources claim they sustainably increase yield, but there are concerns about biosecurity to be investigated before their introduction to the field.

Evaluation of the Antimicrobial Activity of Endophytic Bacterial Populations From Chinese Traditional Medicinal Plant Licorice and Characterization of the Bioactive Secondary Metabolites Produced by Bacillus atrophaeus Against Verticillium dahliae [PDF]

, 2018
Endophytic bacteria associated with medicinal plants possess unique strategies that enhance growth and suvival of host plants, many of which are mediated by distinctive secondary metabolites.

Contrasting drought responses in two grassland plant–microbe systems under climate change

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 2, February 2026.
By contrasting two plant strategies across a soil‐moisture gradient under warming and elevated CO2, this study shows how drought and climate jointly shape plant performance and associated microbiomes. The stress‐tolerant Festuca rubra responds through trait plasticity and flexible bacterial communities, whereas the competitive Lolium perenne relies ...

Colonization dynamic and distribution of the endophytic fungus Microdochium bolleyi in plants measured by qPCR.

PLoS ONE
Microdochium bolleyi is a fungal endophyte of cereals and grasses proposed as an ideal model organism for studying plant-endophyte interactions. A qPCR-based diagnostic assay was developed to detect M. bolleyi in wheat and Brachypodium distachyon tissues

Differences in community composition of endophytic fungi between above- and below-ground tissues of Aristolochia chilensis in an arid ecosystem

Revista Chilena de Historia Natural, 2020
Background Endophytic fungi are diverse and ubiquitous in nature, yet studies simultaneously comparing endophyte communities in above- and below-ground plant tissues are relatively scarce.

Harnessing Microbial Volatile Organic Compounds for Crop Protection: Scientific Discovery, Bridging Ecological Function and On‐Farm Application

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 2, February 2026.
This opinion article highlights how microbial VOCs can support sustainable crop protection and outlines the ecological, analytical and translational challenges that currently limit their field application. It proposes practical and technological pathways to bridge the gap between laboratory discoveries and on‐farm deployment.

Fungal alkaloid occurrence during seedling establishment and early growth in Lolium perenne seedlings infected with Epichloë festucae var. lolii and the influence of adult Argentine stem weevil (Listronotus bonariensis) feeding on alkaloid concentrations : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science (MSc) in Agriculture Science at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]

, 2016
Fungal endophytes of the genus Epichloë often form stable, symbiotic, and mutualistic relationships with grasses of the Pooideae, including perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.).

Systemic Activation of the Antioxidant System by Root Priming With Non‐Pathogenic Fusarium oxysporum in Flax Infected With Pathogenic Fusarium oxysporum

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 1, February 2026.
Fusarium oxysporum Fo47 primes flax by locally suppressing pathogens in roots and systemically activating antioxidant defences in shoots, offering a sustainable plant protection strategy. ABSTRACT Plants rely on specialised adaptive mechanisms to enhance resistance against environmental stress.

Brief Review on Fungal Endophytes

International Journal of Secondary Metabolite, 2018
Fungal endophytes are the critical organisms in the environment residing in the plant tissues without showing any harmful effects on its host life cycle. The finding of fungal endophytes in natural habitat has been insufficient due to some non-sporulating and non-culturable fungal endophytes by traditional method.
