Drought stress profoundly affects native desert plants' survival and performance. Among all
the abiotic stresses, drought is considered a major constraint that influences the structure …

Dark septate endophytes (DSEs) comprise a diverse and ubiquitous group of fungal
generalists with broad habitat niches that robustly colonize the roots of plants in stressful …

Novel species of fungi described in this study include those from various countries as
follows: Australia, Chaetomella pseudocircinoseta and Coniella pseudodiospyri on …

Dark septate endophytes (DSE) are a form-group of root endophytic fungi with elusive
functions. Here, the genomes of two common DSE of semiarid areas, Cadophora sp. and …

The impact of climate change on the soil microbiome potentially alters the biogeochemical
cycle of terrestrial ecosystems. In semi‐arid environments, water availability is a major …

Endophytic fungi have been studied in recent decades to understand how they interact with
their hosts, the types of relationships they establish, and the potential effects of this …

Ecological processes in arid lands are often described by the pulse-reserve paradigm, in
which rain events drive biological activity until moisture is depleted, leaving a reserve. This …

Dark septate endophytes (DSE) may facilitate plant growth and stress tolerance in stressful
ecosystems. However, little is known about the response of plants to non-host DSE fungi …

Plant tissues host a variety of fungi. One important group is the dark septate endophytes
(DSEs) that colonize plant roots and form characteristic intracellular structures–melanized …

Numerous studies address the distribution and the diversity of dark septate endophytes
(DSEs) in the literature, but little is known about their ecological role and their effect on host …
