In nature, plants frequently experience concurrent colonization with arbuscular mycorrhizal
fungi (AMF) and grass endophytes (Epichloë). These two fungi assist in mineral uptake and …

Festuca rubra subsp. pruinosa is a perennial grass that inhabits sea cliffs of the Atlantic
coasts of Europe. In this unhospitable environment plants grow in rock crevices and are …

Almost all living plants can be simultaneously colonised by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in
the roots and endophytes in the shoots, while also being attacked by insect herbivores …

Background and aims Fungal symbionts, present in above and in belowground tissues, such
as that of Epichloë endophytes and arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, respectively, can …

This study was conducted to explore effects of the systemic fungal endophyte Epichloë
gansuensis on root and rhizosphere soil bacterial diversity of Achnatherum inebrians host …

Bioremediation is an ecologically-friendly approach for the restoration of heavy metal-
contaminated sites and can exploit environmental microorganisms such as bacteria and …

Upon exposure to the prevailing environment, leaves become increasingly colonized by
fungi and bacteria located on the surface (epiphytic) or within (endophytic) the leaves. Many …

Plants host multiple symbionts that interact with each other affecting plant performance and
regulating their establishment. Here, we analyzed how the association with Epichloë …

Background Soil salinity is a severe environmental stress, limiting plant growth and
sustainable agriculture. Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) and Epichloë …

This study was conducted to investigate how Epichloë gansuensis endophyte and soil
disturbance affect root-associated fungi (RAF) of Achnatherum inebrians (drunken horse …
