Horizontally transmitted fungal endophytes are an ecological group of fungi, mostly
belonging to the Ascomycota, that reside in the aerial tissues and roots of plants without …

Many fungi belonging to mostly Ascomycota inhabit living tissues of plants of all major
lineages without causing any visible symptoms. Termed horizontally transmitted …

Fungal endophytes residing in the internal tissues of living plants occur in almost every plant
on earth from the arctic to the tropics. The endophyte–host relationship is described as a …

Endophytic fungi are those that live internally in apparently healthy and asymptomatic hosts.
Endophytic fungi appear to be ubiquitous; indeed, no study has yet shown the existence of a …

Background: Endophytes represent a complex community of microorganisms colonizing
asymptomatically internal tissues of higher plants. Several reports have shown that …

Fungal endophytes–fungi that grow within plant tissues without causing immediate signs of
disease–are abundant and diverse producers of bioactive secondary metabolites …

Endophytes constitute a remarkably multifarious group of microorganisms ubiquitous in
plants and maintain an imperceptible association with their hosts for at least a part of their …

Plant-associated endophytic fungi are rich sources of novel bioactive and structurally
diverse secondary metabolites and other natural products. Newly synthesized secondary …

Bioactive natural products from endophytic fungi, isolated from higher plants, are attracting
considerable attention from natural product chemists and biologists alike as indicated by the …

Plant-associated endophytes define an important symbiotic association in nature and are
established bio-reservoirs of plant-derived natural products. Endophytes colonize the …
