Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 Many cool-season grasses form permanent, mutualistic symbioses with asexual Epichloë endophytes. These fungal symbionts often perform a protective role within the association as many strains produce secondary metabolites that deter certain mammalian and ...

The mutualistic fungus Piriformospora indica protects barley roots from a loss of antioxidant capacity caused by the necrotrophic pathogen Fusarium culmorum [PDF]
, 2013 Fusarium culmorum causes root rot in barley (Hordeum vulgare), resulting in severely reduced plant growth and yield. Pretreatment of roots with chlamydospores of the mutualistic root-colonizing basidiomycete Piriformospora indica (Agaricomycotina ...

Fungal endophyte (Epichloë festucae) alters the nutrient content of Festuca rubra regardless of water availability. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Festuca rubra plants maintain associations with the vertically transmitted fungal endophyte Epichloë festucae. A high prevalence of infected host plants in semiarid grasslands suggests that this association could be mutualistic.

Fungal endophytes for sustainable crop production [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Ecology, 2016 This minireview highlights the importance of endophytic fungi for sustainable agriculture and horticulture production. Fungal endophytes play a key role in habitat adaptation of plants resulting in improved plant performance and plant protection against biotic and abiotic stresses.

Endophytic, Non-endophytic Fungal Alkaloids and its Applications
Saudi Journal of Pathology and Microbiology, 2022 Alkaloids are a secondary metabolite, which are extracted from a wide – array of organisms include Bacteria, Fungi, Plants and Animals. Here in present review mainly focused on the alkaloids derived from endophytic fungi and non – endophytic fungi. Fungi have provided a great source of spirit for novel drug compounds as fungi derived alkaloids have ...

Environmental context of endophyte symbioses: Interacting effects of water stress and insect herbivory [PDF]
, 2011 Symbiotic associations between grasses and fungal endophytes are generally regarded as mutualistic, yet benefits to host plants may vary with environmental context.

FGB1 and WSC3 are in planta-induced beta-glucan-binding fungal lectins with different functions [PDF]
, 2019 In the root endophyte Serendipita indica, several lectin-like members of the expanded multigene family of WSC proteins are transcriptionally induced in planta and are potentially involved in beta-glucan remodeling at the fungal cell wall.
