Microbes living in plant tissues—endophytes—are mainly studied in crop plants where they
typically colonize the root apoplast. Trees—a large carbon source with a high capacity for …

Studies of the ecological and evolutionary relationships between plants and their associated
microbes have long been focused on single microbes, or single microbial guilds, but in …

Since their discovery, beneficial bacteria living inside the plant tissues (known as bacterial
endophytes) have been studied widely in agricultural crop species. But their ecology and …
