Recent molecular studies on endophytic bacterial diversity have revealed a large richness of
species. Endophytes promote plant growth and yield, suppress pathogens, may help to …

In spite of the term 'endophyte'being employed for all organisms that inhabit plants,
mycologists have come to use the term 'fungal endophyte'for fungi that inhabit plants without …

Fungal symbionts have been found associated with every plant studied in natural
ecosystem, where they colonize and reside entirely in the internal tissues of their host plant …

All plants in natural ecosystems are thought to be symbiotic with mycorrhizal and/or
endophytic fungi. Collectively, these fungi express different symbiotic lifestyles ranging from …

The impact of exotic species on native organisms is widely acknowledged, but poorly
understood. Very few studies have empirically investigated how invading plants may alter …

Climate change and catastrophic events have contributed to rice shortages in several
regions due to decreased water availability and soil salinization. Although not adapted to …

Piriformospora indica, a member of the newly created order Sebacinales, is extremely
versatile in its mycorrhizal associations and its ability to promote plant growth. P. indica is …

The successful conversion of plant production systems from conventional resource-
exhausting to sustainable strategies depends on knowledge-based management of …

Endophytes are microorganisms that live within host plants for at least part of their life and
do not cause apparent symptoms of diseases. In general, beneficial endophytes promote …

Piriformospora indica is a wide-host root-colonizing endophytic fungus which allows the
plants to grow under extreme physical and nutrient stress. The fungus can be cultivated on …
