“Omics” tools for better understanding the plant–endophyte interactions
S Kaul, T Sharma, M K. Dhar - Frontiers in plant science, 2016 - frontiersin.org
Endophytes, which mostly include bacteria, fungi and actinomycetes, are the endosymbionts
that reside asymptomatically in plants for at least a part of their life cycle. They have …

Survival trade-offs in plant roots during colonization by closely related beneficial and pathogenic fungi
The sessile nature of plants forced them to evolve mechanisms to prioritize their responses
to simultaneous stresses, including colonization by microbes or nutrient starvation. Here, we …
