Exploring Costa Rica's fungal trends: Insights from digitized specimens

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Fungi are essential to tropical ecosystems but remain largely absent from conservation agendas. By analyzing over 78,000 fungal records from Costa Rica—a globally recognized biodiversity hotspot—this study reveals key patterns in fungal diversity, distribution, and seasonality.

A Systematic Review on the Effects of Epichloë Fungal Endophytes on Drought Tolerance in Cool-Season Grasses

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Symptomless fungal endophytes in the genus Epichloë are repeatedly mentioned to increase tolerance of cool-season grasses to a wide range of environmental stress factors, mainly drought. However, the generality of this idea is challenged because (i) most

Congolese rhizospheric soils as a rich source of new plant growth-promoting endophytic Piriformospora isolates [PDF]

, 2017
In the last decade, there has been an increasing focus on the implementation of plant growth-promoting (PGP) organisms as a sustainable option to compensate for poor soil fertility conditions in developing countries.

Bacillus thuringiensis and its pest control potential as endophyte

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) systemically colonizes tomato plants as endophyte, inducing midgut damage, fitness reduction and immune suppression in Spodoptera littoralis larvae feeding on Bt‐colonized leaves. The immune suppression enhances the susceptibility to Bt treatments, allowing a synergistic dual use of Bt commercial formulations, by combined ...

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.

Artificial Inoculation of Epichloë festucae into Lolium perenne, and Visualisation of Endophytic and Epiphyllous Fungal Growth

Bio-Protocol, 2018
Natural hosts for the fungal endophyte Epichloë festucae include Festuca rubra (fine fescue) and Festuca trachyphylla (hard fescue). Some strains also form stable associations with Lolium perenne (perennial ryegrass). L.

Light converts endosymbiotic fungus to pathogen, influencing seedling survival and host tree recruitment [PDF]

, 2008
Endophytic fungi that asymptomatically colonize plants^1^ are diverse and abundant in tropical ecosystems^2^. These organisms can be weakly pathogenic^3^ and/or mutualistic, frequently enabling plants to adapt to extreme environments, alter competitive ...

Is the endophyte‐based plant protection against aphids mediated by changes in the insect microbiome?

Insect Science, EarlyView.
We showed that the fungal endophyte Epichloë strain AR37 increased the plant resistance against aphids via the production of indole diterpene alkaloids. The reduction in aphid performance was not associated with changes in abundance/composition/diversity of the insect's bacterial microbiota, but additional endophyte effects on this microbiota cannot be

Foliar Endophytic Fungal Communities Are Driven by Leaf Traits—Evidence From a Temperate Tree Diversity Experiment

Ecology and Evolution
Fungal endophyte communities are mainly driven by host plant identity and geographic location. However, little is known about interactions between endophytes and characteristics of the host plant such as leaf functional traits, which vary both among and ...

Graphania mutans (Walker) and Acremonium lolii (Latch) : the relationship between an insect herbivore and a fungal endophyte of perennial ryegrass : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Zoology at Massey University [PDF]

, 1987
In examining the relationship between Graphania mutans (Walker) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) and perennial ryegrass infected with the fungal endophyte Acremonium lolii (Latch in press), the biology of G. mutans was investigated.
