Reactive oxygen species are in all types of organisms from microbes to higher plants and
animals. They are by-products of normal metabolism, such as photosynthesis and …

According to the stress gradient hypothesis (SGH), ecological interactions between
organisms shift positively as environmental stress increases. In the case of associational …

Endophytes are microbial symbionts living inside plants and have been extensively
researched in recent decades for their functions associated with plant responses to …

Beneficial associations between plants and microbes play an important role in both natural
and agricultural ecosystems. For example, associations between fungi of the genus …

Abstract Background The endophytic fungus, Neotyphodium coenophialum, can enhance
drought tolerance of its host grass, tall fescue. To investigate endophyte effects on plant …

Global warming has led to frequent droughts, posing challenges for afforestation in arid and
semiarid regions. In search of labor-saving and money-saving methods to improve the …

In the wake of changing climatic conditions, plants are frequently exposed to a wide range of
biotic and abiotic stresses at various stages of their development, all of which negatively …

Research on fungal endophytes has demonstrated the ability to improve crop performance
and protect host plants against diverse biotic and abiotic stresses. Yet, despite the …

Lolium perenne is a major forage and turf grass, which is often naturally infected with a “wild-
type” strain (EWT) of the fungal endophyte Neotyphodium lolii, establishing a symbiotic …

Fungal endophytes have significant effects on host performance including but not limited to
changes in reproductive output, as well as, biotic and abiotic stress tolerance. The ultimate …
