Foliar fungal endophytes are one of the most diverse guilds of symbiotic fungi found in the
photosynthetic tissues of every plant lineage, but it is unclear how plant environments and …

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 …

• Premise of the study: Fungal endophytes are symbionts that inhabit aboveground tissues of
most terrestrial plants and can affect plant physiology and growth under stressed conditions …

Understanding how fungal endophyte communities differ in abundance, diversity, taxonomic
composition, and host affinity over the geographic ranges of their hosts is key to …

Horizontally-transmitted foliar endophytic fungi can moderate plant tolerance to abiotic and
biotic stress. Previous studies have found correlations between climate and endophyte beta …

Because of disturbance and plant species loss at the local level, many arid ecosystems in
the western USA benefit from revegetation. There is a growing interest in improving …

The movement of plants onto land, which occurred 400–500 million years ago (Ma)(see
Chapter 1), could not have been possible without plants having the adaptive capacity to …

All 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 …

The plant microbiome can affect host function in many ways and characterizing the
ecological factors that shape endophytic (microbes living inside host plant tissues) …

Foliar fungal endophytes are ubiquitous plant symbionts that can affect plant growth and
reproduction via their roles in pathogen and stress tolerance, as well as plant hormonal …
