We present the first worldwide study on the apple (Malus× domestica) fruit microbiome that
examines questions regarding the composition and the assembly of microbial communities …

The world is facing severe consequences of chemical fertilizers and synthetic pesticides. As
a safer and eco-friendly option for crop nutrition and pest control, endophytic fungi (EFs) are …

A phylogenetically diverse array of fungi live within healthy leaf tissue of dicotyledonous
plants. Many studies have examined these endophytes within a single plant species and/or …

Eukaryotic hosts harbor tremendously diverse microbiomes that affect host fitness and
response to environmental challenges. Fungal endophytes are prominent members of plant …

All multicellular organisms host a diverse microbiome composed of microbial pathogens,
mutualists, and commensals, and changes in microbiome diversity or composition can alter …

Foliar fungal endophytes are ubiquitous plant symbionts that can affect plant growth and
reproduction via their roles in pathogen and stress tolerance, as well as plant hormonal …

Leaf fungal endophytes (LFEs) contribute to plant growth and responses to stress. Fungi
colonize leaves through maternal transmission, eg via the seed, and through environmental …

Due to climate change, drought frequencies and severities are predicted to increase across
the United States. Plant responses and adaptation to stresses depend on plant genetic and …

Eastern Mountain Avens (Geum peckii Pursh, Rosaceae) is a globally rare and endangered
perennial plant found only at two coastal bogs within Digby County (Nova Scotia, Canada) …

Fungal endophytes are harboured in the leaves of every individual plant host and contribute
to plant health, leaf senescence, and early decomposition. In grasslands, fungal endophytes …
