Within their tissues, plants host diverse communities of fungi, termed fungal endophytes.
These fungi can affect plant growth, competitiveness, and resistance to stressors, thereby …

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 …

The plant microbiome can affect host function in many ways and characterizing the
ecological factors that shape endophytic (microbes living inside host plant tissues) …

Fungal endophytes are critical members of the plant microbiome, but their community
dynamics throughout an entire growing season are underexplored. Additionally, most fungal …

Experimental tests of community assembly mechanisms for host‐associated microbiomes in
nature are lacking. Asymptomatic foliar fungal endophytes are a major component of the …

The model moss species Physcomitrium patens has long been used for studying divergence
of land plants spanning from bryophytes to angiosperms. In addition to its phylogenetic …

Endophytic fungi are important in diverse plant functions but knowledge of the factors that
shape assemblages of these symbionts is lacking. Here, using a culture-dependent …

All plants, including crop species, harbor a community of fungal endophyte species, yet we
know little about the biotic factors that are important in endophyte community assembly. We …

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 …

Endophytic fungi compose a significant part of plant microbiomes. However, while a small
number of fungal taxa have proven beneficial impact, the vast majority of fungal endophytes …
