It is well known that beneficial plant-associated microorganisms may stimulate plant growth
and enhance resistance to disease and abiotic stresses. The effects of climate change …

▪ Abstract Endophytic fungi living asymptomatically within plant tissues have been found in
virtually all plant species. Endophytes are considered plant mutualists: They receive nutrition …

Over the past 20 yr much has been learned about a unique symbiotic interaction between
fungal endophytes and grasses. The fungi (Clavicipitaceae, Ascomycota) grow …

Cool‐season grasses infected with Neotyphodium spp. endophytes have an extraordinary
impact on the ecology and economy of pasture and turf. A range of adaptations of endophyte …

Fungal endophytes are quite common in nature and some of them have been shown to have
adverse effects against insects, nematodes, and plant pathogens. Our research program is …

Fungal endophytes isolated from healthy Theobroma cacao tissues were screened in vitro
for antagonism against major pathogens of cacao. Of tested endophytic morphospecies …

Mutualistic interactions between species are receiving increased attention from ecologists,
although research lags far behind analogous work on competition or predator-prey …

Fungi that occur inside asymptomatic plant tissues are known as fungal endophytes.
Different genera of fungal entomopathogens have been reported as naturally occurring …

Although fungal endophytes of grasses have been known since the 1930s, their economic
