In the past few decades, the control of pests and diseases of cultivated plants using natural
and biological measures has drawn increasing attention in the quest to reduce the level of …

All plants are inhabited internally by diverse microbial communities comprising bacterial,
archaeal, fungal, and protistic taxa. These microorganisms showing endophytic lifestyles …

Many recent studies have demonstrated that non-pathogenic fungi within plant microbiomes,
ie, endophytes (“endo”= within,“phyte”= plant), can significantly modify the expression of …

Endophytic fungi are symptomless internal inhabits of plant tissues. They are implicated in
the production of antibiotic and other compounds of therapeutic importance. Ecologically …

Endophytes are microorganisms (bacteria or fungi or actinomycetes) that dwell within robust
plant tissues by having a symbiotic association. They are ubiquitously associated with …

The ecosystem approach to ecology treats organisms and the physical elements of their
environment as components of a single, integrated system. This comprehensive textbook …

All plants in natural ecosystems appear to be symbiotic with fungal endophytes. This highly
diverse group of fungi can have profound impacts on plant communities through increasing …

Physiological and ecological constraints play key roles in the evolution of plant growth
patterns, especially in relation to defenses against herbivores. Phenotypic and life history …
