Symbiotic organisms may contribute to a host plant's success or failure to grow, its ability to
maintain viable populations, and potentially, its probability of establishment and spread …

Although heeding and leading in the application perspective, we are lagging to address the
variegated cross-talks involved in plant-endophyte interactions, the basis for the pertinence …

As current research activities have focused on symbiotic or parasitic plant–microbe
interactions, other types of associations between plants and microorganisms are often …

▪ Abstract Endophytic fungi living asymptomatically within plant tissues have been found in
virtually all plant species. Endophytes are considered plant mutualists: They receive nutrition …

Plant‐associated microbes have been increasingly recognized for influencing host
populations, plant communities, and even herbivores and predators. Thus, understanding …

The inspiration for this Special Issue (SI) of Plant Ecology & Diversity, focussed on the topic
of endophytes, came from an international conference held at Trinity College Dublin, Ireland …

Endophytic fungi are internal colonizers of aboveground tissues in all plant species studied
to date (U'Ren et al. 2012). These cryptic organisms engage in a diverse set of symbioses …

Microbial endophytes are present in all known plant species. The ability to enter and thrive
in the plant tissues makes endophytes unique, showing multidimensional interactions within …

Fungal plant symbionts can be highly specialized on a limited range of host genotypes and
species. Understanding the genetic basis of this specialization, the mechanisms governing …

Endophytes are microbes that live, for at least a portion of their life history, within plant
tissues. Endophyte assemblages are often composed of a few abundant taxa and many …
