Background and aims Dark septate endophyte (DSE) fungi are the most frequent colonists
on the roots of Salix caprea in highly metal-contaminated soils. The present study was …

Numerous studies address the distribution and the diversity of dark septate endophytes
(DSEs) in the literature, but little is known about their ecological role and their effect on host …

Although the ecological function of dark septate endophytes (DSEs) is well studied, little is
known about the responses of the host plant to DSEs obtained from other plants, especially …

Dark septate endophytes (DSEs) are a heterogeneous group of endophytic fungi that
frequently colonize the roots of plants growing in trace metal element-contaminated soils …

Dark septate endophytes (DSE) are widely distributed in plant roots grown in stressful
habitats, especially in heavy metal-polluted soils. But little is known about the physiological …

A growing body of evidence suggests that plant root-associated fungi such as dark septate
endophytes (DSE) can help plants overcome many biotic and abiotic stresses, of great …

Dark septate endophytes (DSEs) are the typical representatives of root endophytic fungi in
heavy metal (HM)-contaminated environments. However, little is known about their roles in …

Dark septate endophytes (DSEs) comprise a diverse and ubiquitous group of fungal
generalists with broad habitat niches that robustly colonize the roots of plants in stressful …

To understand the possible role of the plant root associated fungi on metal tolerance, their
role in the uptake of heavy metals and the potential transfer of these metal ions to the plant …

Dark septate endophytes (DSE) occur widely in association with plants exposed to heavy
metal stress. However, little is known about the response of DSE exposed to heavy metals …
