Fungal endophytes are found in most seed plants, but their ecological function mainly
remains elusive, except in pooid (or clavicipitalean) systems. The diversity and dynamics of …

Seagrasses are flowering plants inhabiting coastal and marine environments, with a
worldwide distribution. They serve as feeding, breeding and nursery grounds for …

In this study we examined the endophytic mycobiota of the outermost sapwood of Scots pine
trees. We aimed at understanding whether endophytic fungal communities are affected by …

Culture techniques are vital in both traditional and modern fungal taxonomy. Establishing
sexual–asexual links and synanamorphs, extracting DNA and secondary metabolites are …

Dendrobium spp. are traditional Chinese medicinal plants, and the main effective
ingredients (polysaccharides and alkaloids) have pharmacologic effects on gastritis …

Two new heptaketides, corynesporol (1) and 1-hydroxydehydroherbarin (2), along with
herbarin (3) were isolated from an endolichenic fungal strain, Corynespora sp. BA-10763 …

Endophytic fungi compose a significant part of plant microbiomes. However, while a small
number of fungal taxa have proven beneficial impact, the vast majority of fungal endophytes …

All plants, including crop species, harbor a community of fungal endophyte species, yet we
know little about the biotic factors that are important in endophyte community assembly. We …

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 …

Fungal endophytes are a ubiquitous feature of plants, yet for many fungi the benefits of
endophytism are still unknown. The Foraging Ascomycete (FA) hypothesis proposes that …
