The development of plant tissue (including organ and cell) cultures for the production of
secondary metabolites has been underway for more than three decades. Plant cell cultures …

During the past 100 years, studies spanning thousands of taxa across almost all biomes
have demonstrated that competition has powerful negative effects on the performance of …

Invasions of alien plants are typically studied as invasions of individual species, yet
interactions between plants and symbiotic fungi (mutualists and potential pathogens) affect …

Heritable microbes represent an important component of the biology, ecology and evolution
of many plants, animals and fungi, acting as both parasites and partners. In this review, we …

Symbiotic organisms may contribute to a host plant's success or failure to grow, its ability to
maintain viable populations, and potentially, its probability of establishment and spread …

Endophytes infect living plant tissues without causing symptoms of disease. Indeed, many of
them contribute to the resistance phenotype of their host. However, fungal endophytes are …

Fungal endophytes can improve plant tolerance to abiotic stress. However, the role of these
plant–fungal interactions in invasive species ecology and their management implications …

The field of microbiome research is arguably one of the fastest growing in biology. Bacteria
feature prominently in studies on animal health, but fungi appear to be the more prominent …

Many fungi reported for endophytic occurrence are better known as plant pathogens on
different crops, raising questions about their actual relationships with the hosts and other …

The soil microbiome plays an important role in the establishment of weeds and invasive
plants. They associate with microorganisms supporting their growth and health. Weed …
