Owing to its exceptional ability to efficiently promote plant growth, protection and stress
tolerance, a mycorrhiza like endophytic Agaricomycetes fungus Piriformospora indica has …

In spite of the term 'endophyte'being employed for all organisms that inhabit plants,
mycologists have come to use the term 'fungal endophyte'for fungi that inhabit plants without …

In the continual search by both pharmaceutical and agricultural industries for new products,
natural selection has been found to be superior to combinatorial chemistry for discovering …

Taken literally, the word endophyte means “in the plant”(endon Gr.= within, phyton= plant).
The usage of this term is as broad as its literal definition and spectrum of potential hosts and …

The decade since the publication of the third edition of this volume has been an era of great
progress in biology in general and the plant sciences in particular. This is especially true …

Piriformospora indica, a member of the newly created order Sebacinales, is extremely
versatile in its mycorrhizal associations and its ability to promote plant growth. P. indica is …

Piriformospora indica is an endophytic fungus that colonizes the roots of many plant species,
including Arabidopsis. We exposed 18-day-old Arabidopsis seedlings, which were either …

Where land exists and the climate is supporting, life develops. Microorganisms, plants,
animals and humans populate the site and they together form an ecosystem. Living together …

The bioprotection performance of Piriformospora indica against the root parasite Fusarium
verticillioides was studied. We found that maize plants first grown with F. verticillioides and at …

Within the basidiomycetes, the vast majority of known mycorrhizal species are
homobasidiomycetes. It was therefore surprising when molecular and ultrastructural studies …
