Plant–fungal interactions are widespread in nature, and their multiple benefits for plant
growth and health have been amply demonstrated. Endophytic and epiphytic fungi can …

Endophytic fungi have been studied in recent decades to understand how they interact with
their hosts, the types of relationships they establish, and the potential effects of this …

Dark septate endophytes (DSE) exert a plethora of effects in regulating plant growth,
signalling and stress tolerance. The advent of metagenomics has led to the identification of …

Plant roots are abundantly colonized by dark septate endophytic (DSE) fungi in virtually all
ecosystems. DSE fungi are functionally heterogeneous and their relationships with plants …

Dark septate endophytes (DSEs) comprise a diverse and ubiquitous group of fungal
generalists with broad habitat niches that robustly colonize the roots of plants in stressful …

Drought is a major threat to plant growth in many parts of the world. During periods of
drought, multiple aspects of plant physiology are negatively affected. For instance, water …

Endophytes and rhizospheric microorganisms support invasive species' adaptation to
environmental stresses. Here, we review the impacts of endophytes, rhizospheric microbes …

Research on fungal endophytes has demonstrated the ability to improve crop performance
and protect host plants against diverse biotic and abiotic stresses. Yet, despite the …

Symbiotic organisms may contribute to a host plant's success or failure to grow, its ability to
maintain viable populations, and potentially, its probability of establishment and spread …

Root-associated microbes can alleviate plant abiotic stresses, thus potentially supporting
adaptation to a changing climate or to novel environments during range expansion. While …
