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

This minireview highlights the importance of endophytic fungi for sustainable agriculture and
horticulture production. Fungal endophytes play a key role in habitat adaptation of plants …

Basidiomycota is one of the major phyla in the fungal tree of life. The outline of
Basidiomycota provides essential taxonomic information for researchers and workers in …

Interactions between fungi and plants, including parasitism, mutualism, and saprotrophy,
have been invoked as key to their respective macroevolutionary success. Here we evaluate …

Background Jasmonates are important regulators in plant responses to biotic and abiotic
stresses as well as in development. Synthesized from lipid-constituents, the initially formed …

Root endophytism and mycorrhizal associations are complex derived traits in fungi that
shape plant physiology. Sebacinales (Agaricomycetes, Basidiomycota) display highly …

In the fungal kingdom, the ectomycorrhizal (EcM) symbiosis has evolved independently in
multiple groups that are referred to as lineages. A growing number of molecular studies in …

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

A comprehensive phylogenetic classification of the kingdom Fungi is proposed, with
reference to recent molecular phylogenetic analyses, and with input from diverse members …

The ectomycorrhizal (EcM) symbiosis involves a large number of plant and fungal taxa
worldwide. During studies on EcM diversity, numerous misidentifications, and contradictory …
