PREMISE Root‐associated fungi provide a wide range of functions for their host plants,
including nutrient provisioning, pathogen protection, and stress alleviation. In so doing, they …

Roots are associated with fungal communities that affect plant growth and health. Individual
root-associated fungi have different effects on plant performance, from detrimental to …

Background Fungal endophytes are highly diverse ubiquitous asymptomatic
microorganisms, some of which appear to be symbiotic. Depending on abiotic conditions …

All terrestrial plants are colonized by foliar endophytic fungi that can affect plant growth and
physiology, but the prediction of these effects on the plant host remains a challenge. Here …

Plant symbioses with fungal root endophytes span a continuum from mutualistic to parasitic
outcomes, and are highly variable depending on the genotype of each symbiont. The abiotic …

Fungal endophytes display a broad range of symbiotic interactions with their host plants.
Current studies on their biology, diversity and benefits are unravelling their high relevance …

Endophytes are microbes that live, for at least a portion of their life history, within plant
tissues. Endophyte assemblages are often composed of a few abundant taxa and many …

All plants form symbioses with endophytic fungi, which affect host plant health and function.
Most endophytic fungi are horizontally transmitted, and consequently, local environment and …

Plants associate through their roots with fungal assemblages that impact their abundance
and productivity. Non-mycorrhizal endophytes constitute an important component of such …

Fungal endophytes can improve plant tolerance to abiotic stress. However, the role of these
plant–fungal interactions in invasive species ecology and their management implications …
