TLDR
All plants studied in natural ecosystems are symbiotic with fungi, which obtain nutrients while either positively, negatively, or neutrally affecting host fitness, and plant adaptation to selective pressures is considered to be regulated by the plant genome.Abstract:
All plants studied in natural ecosystems are symbiotic with fungi ([1][1]), which obtain nutrients while either positively, negatively, or neutrally affecting host fitness ([2][2]). Plant adaptation to selective pressures is considered to be regulated by the plant genome ([3][3]). To test whetherread more

Fungal endophytes: diversity and functional roles.
TL;DR: It is shown that NC-endophytes represent three distinct functional groups based on host colonization and transmission, in planta biodiversity and fitness benefits conferred to hosts, and key questions for future work in endophyte biology are highlighted.

TL;DR: This review addresses the concept of endophytism, considering the latest insights into evolution, plant ecosystem functioning, and multipartite interactions.
Journal ArticleDOI
The endophytic continuum.
TL;DR: It is hypothesized that the endophytes, in contrast to known pathogens, generally have far greater phenotypic plasticity and thus more options than pathogens: infection, local but also extensive colonisation, latency, virulence, pathogenity and (or) saprophytism.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Genetics of Autism
TL;DR: Significant evidence is found for multiple interacting genetic factors as the main causative determinants of autism and for interactions between multiple genes cause "idiopathic" autism but that epigenetic factors and exposure to environmental modifiers may contribute to variable expression of autism-related traits.

TL;DR: The ability of fungal endophytes to confer stress tolerance to plants may provide a novel strategy for mitigating the impacts of global climate change on agricultural and native plant communities.

Microbiology of the Phyllosphere

TL;DR: The above-ground parts of plants are normally colonized by a variety of bacteria, yeasts, and fungi, which can be isolated from within plant tissues, but many more are recovered from the surfaces of healthy plants.

Oxidative stress is involved in heat-induced cell death in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
TL;DR: It is shown that oxidative stress and antioxidant enzymes play a major role in heat-induced cell death in yeast and that HSP104 is not responsible for the increased resistance of anaerobically grown cells.

Fungal symbiosis from mutualism to parasitism: who controls the outcome, host or invader?
TL;DR: Data is presented here demonstrating that plant pathogenic Colletotrichum species are able to asymptomatically colonize plants and express nonpathogenic lifestyles, and results indicate that the outcome of symbiosis is controlled by the plant's physiology.

Biochemical Analysis of Plant Protection Afforded by a Nonpathogenic Endophytic Mutant of Colletotrichum magna

TL;DR: Analysis of plant biochemical indicators indicated that disease protection in path-1-colonized plants was correlated with the ability of these plants to mount a defense response more rapidly and to equal or greater levels than plants exposed to wild-type C. magna alone.
