Fungal endophyte–grass symbioses are rare in the California floristic province and other regions with Mediterranean-influenced climates

, 2012
Research on agronomic grasses has shown that Class 1 fungal endophytes (Neotyphodium/Epichloë; Clavicipitaceae) can have profound effects on host plant fitness.

Evolutionary trade‐offs between beauvericin production and growth define divergent virulence strategies in Beauveria

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Two virulence strategies in Beauveria: a growth strategy characterized by rapid within‐host proliferation, and a toxin strategy involving antimicrobial activity and toxicity to insects Abstract BACKGROUND Pathogen virulence is often attributed to toxin production, yet toxins are metabolically costly and may not universally enhance fitness.

Fungal endophyte isolation efficiency.

, 2013
Fungal endophyte taxa isolation efficiency expressed as the mean % of plant fragments (leaves, squares and bolls as explained in materials and methods) per variety at each site from which at least one endophytic isolate was obtained.

Fungal Endophytes in Plants [PDF]

, 2018
Dear Colleagues, This Special Issue is dedicated to fungi that are found as endophytes in the world’s plants. Among many other things, it covers newly-discovered fungi that are endophytic. The role of the endophyte in the plant microbiome is of emerging interest, and aspects of are included.

The Epichloë festucae antifungal protein has activity against the plant pathogen Sclerotinia homoeocarpa, the causal agent of dollar spot disease

Scientific Reports, 2017
Epichloë spp. are naturally occurring fungal endophytic symbionts of many cool-season grasses. Infection by the fungal endophytes often confers biotic and abiotic stress tolerance to their hosts.

Tropical Palm Endophytes Exhibit Low Competitive Structuring When Assessed Using Co-occurrence and Antipathogen Activity Analysis

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2019
Leaf-inhabiting fungal and bacterial endophytes are at their most diverse in tropical rainforest plant hosts, with some influencing host plant fitness as either symbionts or pathogens.

Endophytic fungi from two isolated Bethencourtia palmensis populations: metabolomic and bioactivity fingerprinting

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
We compared two island populations of Bethencourtia palmensis and their culturable endophytic fungi, revealing distinct plant chemistries and a higher biopesticidal potential in the endophytic fungi from La Palma population along with high potential for the discovery of novel compounds.

Fungal endophytes: diversity and functional roles [PDF]

New Phytologist, 2009
SummaryAll plants in natural ecosystems appear to be symbiotic with fungal endophytes. This highly diverse group of fungi can have profound impacts on plant communities through increasing fitness by conferring abiotic and biotic stress tolerance, increasing biomass and decreasing water consumption, or decreasing fitness by altering resource allocation.

Additional file 4: Figure S1. of Relevance of in vitro agar based screens to characterize the anti-fungal activities of bacterial endophyte communities

, 2016
In planta screening of maize endophytes for antifungal activity against S. homoeocarpa in annual ryegrass. Shown are tubes with annual ryegrass treated with (A) no fungal pathogen and no endophyte, (B) the pathogen but no endophyte, (C-E) the pathogen ...
