The dark septate endophytic fungus Phialocephala fortinii is a potential decomposer of soil organic compounds and a promoter of Asparagus officinalis growth (2017, background): “Microsclerotia-like structures of the selected DSE fungi were not present in the vascular cylinder tissues in the roots studied here, indicating that there was little potential for parasitism of asparagus plants (Yu et al., 2001; Peterson et al., 2008; Sadowsky et al., 2012).”
Dark septate root endophytic fungi increase growth of Scots pine seedlings under elevated CO2 through enhanced nitrogen use efficiency (2010, background): “Phialocephala fortinii is considered the most important representative of the DSE fungi (Stoyke et al. 1992; Harney et al. 1997; Grünig et al. 2004; Peterson et al. 2008).”
Ectomycorrhizal lifestyle in fungi: global diversity, distribution, and evolution of phylogenetic lineages (2010, background): “) that is typical of dark septate root endophytes (Jumpponen 2001; Peterson et al. 2008).”
Lineages of ectomycorrhizal fungi revisited: Foraging strategies and novel lineages revealed by sequences from belowground (2013, background): “These anatomical features have led to many ambiguous reports on EcM formation between Helotiales and various plants (Kohn et al., 1986; Haug et al., 2004; Peterson et al., 2008; Comandini et al., 2012).”
