Using a sequence-based approach, we investigated the transmission of diverse fungal
endophytes in seed and needles of Pinus monticola, western white pine. We isolated 2003 …

Plants harbor diverse communities of fungi and other microorganisms. Fungi are known to
occur both on plant surfaces (epiphytes) and inside plant tissues (endophytes), but the two …

Phylogenetic relationships of one of the largest nonlichen-forming ascomycetous groups,
the Leotiomycetes, were inferred from genes encoding three rDNA regions (SSU+ LSU+ 5.8 …

Needle diseases caused by pathogens within Rhytismataceae are increasing in frequency
globally where pines are either a predominate species or are grown commercially, and yet …

Bamboos are common and useful plants in Japan but little information is available about
their endophytes. In this study, 257 fungal strains were isolated from bamboo tissues, and 71 …

Foliar fungal endophytes represent a diverse and species‐rich plant microbiome. Their
biogeography provides essential clues to their cryptic relationship with hosts and the …

Rhytismatales (Leotiomycetes, Pezizomycotina, Ascomycota) are an order of mostly plant-
associated ascomycetes with a global distribution. Well known taxa include the Rhytisma tar …

Foliar fungal endophytes are one of the most diverse guilds of symbiotic fungi found in the
photosynthetic tissues of every plant lineage, but it is unclear how plant environments and …

Invasive fungi and other non-indigenous plant pathogens have had a significant effect on
American agriculture for hundreds of years. At present crop loss due to invasive plant …

Major blood loss still is a risk factor during surgery. Electrocauterization often is used for
necrotizing the tissue and thereby halts bleeding (hemostasis). However, the carbonized …
