Antibiosis, mycoparasitism, and colonization success for endophytic Trichoderma isolates with biological control potential in Theobroma cacao
Bryan A. Bailey,Hanhong Bae,M.D. Strem,J. Crozier,Sarah E. Thomas,G.J. Samuels,B.T. Vinyard,K. A. Holmes +7 more
TLDR
Most of the isolates studied were able to establish an endophytic relationship with cacao by colonizing the above ground portions of the cacao seedling, and exploitation of this characteristic could lead to the development of novel biocontrol strategies for control of cacao diseases.About:

The beneficial endophyte Trichoderma hamatum isolate DIS 219b promotes growth and delays the onset of the drought response in Theobroma cacao
Hanhong Bae,Richard C. Sicher,Moon S. Kim,Soo-Hyung Kim,Mary D. Strem,Rachel L. Melnick,Bryan A. Bailey +6 more
TL;DR: The primary direct effect of DIS 219b colonization was promotion of root growth, regardless of water status, and an increase in water content which it is proposed caused a delay in many aspects of the drought response of cacao.

Unraveling the role of fungal symbionts in plant abiotic stress tolerance
TL;DR: The fungal symbioses, fungal Symbionts and their role in abiotic stress tolerance are described and a putative mechanism of stress tolerance by symbionts has been covered.

Induction of terpenoid synthesis in cotton roots and control of Rhizoctonia solani by seed treatment with Trichoderma virens. [Erratum: 2003 Dec., v. 93, no. 12, p. 1606.]
TL;DR: It appears that induction of defense response, particularly terpenoid synthesis, in cotton roots by T. virens may be an important mechanism in the biological control by this fungus of R. solani-incited cotton seedling disease.

Diversity of fungal endophytes in leaves and stems of wild rubber trees (Hevea brasiliensis) in Peru
Romina Gazis,Priscila Chaverri +1 more
TL;DR: Comparisons between leaves and sapwood demonstrated a spatial heterogeneity in endophyte assemblages among plant parts and sites, with a greater diversity of endophytes found in sapwood than in leaves.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fungal endophytes: modifiers of plant disease.
TL;DR: This review highlights the importance of fungal endophytes for plant disease across a broad range of plant pathosystems, yet simultaneously reveals that complexity within plant microbiomes presents a significant challenge to disentangling the biotic environmental factors affecting plant disease severity.

Mechanisms Employed by Trichoderma Species in the Biological Control of Plant Diseases: The History and Evolution of Current Concepts.
TL;DR: Past research indicates that the mechanisms are many and varied, even within the genus Trichoderma, and in order to make the most effective use of biocontrol agents for the control of plant diseases, it must understand how the agents work and what their limitations are.

Fungal endophytes limit pathogen damage in a tropical tree
A. Elizabeth Arnold,Luis C. Mejía,Damond Kyllo,Enith I. Rojas,Zuleyka Maynard,Nancy Robbins,Edward Allen Herre +6 more
TL;DR: It is shown that inoculation of endophyte-free leaves with endophytes isolated frequently from naturally infected, asymptomatic hosts significantly decreases both leaf necrosis and leaf mortality when T. cacao seedlings are challenged with a major pathogen.
