Fungal communities associated with plants often decrease in similarity as the distance
between sampling sites increases (ie, they demonstrate distance decay). In the …

Endophytes are endosymbionts residing asymptomatically in plants and have emerged as a
rich source of novel metabolites, enzymes, and plant stress relievers. There is a continuous …

Through hundreds of millions of years of association, fungi that live in symbiosis with plants
have diversified in form and function. Today symbioses are increasingly recognized as a …
