Environmental conditions are becoming increasingly challenging in managed ecosystems,
especially in agricultural fields, where environmentally friendly solutions are urgently …

In hot deserts, plants cope with aridity, high temperatures, and nutrient-poor soils with
morphological and biochemical adaptations that encompass intimate microbial symbioses …

Various endophyte assemblages have been reported among plants and tissues, however,
the extent to which the host and/or tissues determine the endophyte community structure has …

Plant-symbiotic fungi influence the structure and function of all terrestrial ecosystems, but
factors shaping their distributions in time and space are rarely well understood. Grasses …

Next‐generation sequencing technologies have provided unprecedented insights into
fungal diversity and ecology. However, intrinsic biases and insufficient quality control in next …

Fungal symbioses with plants are ubiquitous, ancient, and vital to both ecosystem function
and plant health. However, benefits to fungal symbionts are not well explored, especially in …

Background Fungal endophytes inhabit symptomless, living tissues of all major plant
lineages to form one of earth's most prevalent groups of symbionts. Many reproduce from …

Riparian areas within a given arid region frequently contain broadly similar plant
communities despite substantive geographic separation. Whether they also harbor similar …

Fungal symbioses are ubiquitous in plants, but their effects have mostly been studied in
seed plants. This study aimed to assess the diversity of fungal endophyte effects in a …

An accurate understanding of the diversity and distribution of fungal symbioses in land
plants is essential for mycorrhizal research. Here we update the seminal work of Wang and …
