All plants are inhabited internally by diverse microbial communities comprising bacterial,
archaeal, fungal, and protistic taxa. These microorganisms showing endophytic lifestyles …

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 …

As is true with animal species, plants also have an associated microflora including
endophytes as well as microbes associated with the phyllosphere and rhizosphere (plant …

• Premise of the study: Endophytic and endolichenic fungi occur in healthy tissues of plants
and lichens, respectively, playing potentially important roles in the ecology and evolution of …

The interiors of plants are colonized by diverse microorganisms that are referred to as
endophytes. Endophytes have received much attention over the past few decades, yet many …

Terrestrial plants including forest trees are generally known to live in close association with
microbial organisms. The inherent features of this close association can be commensalism …

This review describes information on the role of endophytic microorganisms and some of
naturally occurring bioactive compounds obtained from endophytic fungi isolated from …

The estimation of species diversity in fungal endophyte communities is based either on
species counts or on the assignment of operational taxonomic units (OTUs). Consequently …

Many fungi belonging to mostly Ascomycota inhabit living tissues of plants of all major
lineages without causing any visible symptoms. Termed horizontally transmitted …

This chapter provides a description of all plant families and genera that include putative fully
mycoheterotrophic species, excluding initial and partial mycoheterotrophs. The overview …
