The Trichoderma brevicompactum clade: a separate lineage with new species, new peptaibiotics, and mycotoxins (2008, methodology): “The strain CBS 121320 was isolated as an endophyte from sapwood of a cacao tree (Theobroma cacao) following the protocol described by Evans et al. (2003).”
Inoculation and colonization of coffee seedlings (Coffea arabica L.) with the fungal entomopathogen Beauveria bassiana (Ascomycota: Hypocreales) (2006, unknown): “Beauveria bassiana has been reported as an endophyte in maize (Bing and Lewis 1991; Arnold and Lewis 2005), potatoes, jimsonweed, cotton, and cocklebur (Jones 1994), tomatoes (Leckie 2002), the bark of Carpinus carolinata Walter (Bills and Polishook 1991), Theobroma cacao (Posada and Vega 2005), and”
Foliar endophytic fungi from Hevea brasiliensis and their antagonism on Microcyclus ulei (2011, background): “…has shown that endophytic fungi restrict both in vitro and in vivo growth of cacao pathogens and limit the damage they cause (Arnold et al. 2003; Evans et al. 2003; Mejía et al. 2003; Holmes et al. 2004, 2006; Rubini et al. 2005; Tondje et al. 2006) highlighting their status as a new source of…”
Endophytic fungi as biocontrol agents of Theobroma cacao pathogens (2008, background): “These observations, jointly with in vitro and in vivo studies (Arnold et al., 2003; Evans et al., 2003; Holmes et al., 2004; Rubini et al., 2005; Tondje et al., 2006; Aneja et al., 2006; Bailey et al., 2006) suggest that different endophytic fungi associated with T. cacao reduce the damage…”
Taxonomy and Pathology of Togninia (Diaporthales) and its Phaeoacremonium Anamorphs (2006, background): “Notes: Phaeoacremonium theobromatis was first identified as an unknown species of Acremonium (“sp. 5”) (Evans et al. 2003).”
Antibiosis, mycoparasitism, and colonization success for endophytic Trichoderma isolates with biological control potential in Theobroma cacao (2008, methodology): “Most were isolated from live sapwood immediately below the bark of trunks of wild and cultivated Theobroma cacao and other Theobroma species (Evans et al., 2003), although representatives isolated from pods and other tissues were also included.”
Diversity of fungal endophytes in leaves and stems of wild rubber trees (Hevea brasiliensis) in Peru (2010, methodology): “The diversity, composition and abundance in sapwood agreed with those obtained by Evans et al. (2003) and Tejesvi et al. (2005) in which a high abundance of Trichoderma isolates was reported for T. gileri and Terminalia arjuna, respectively.”
Taxonomy and biocontrol potential of a new species of Trichoderma from the Amazon basin of South America (2004, methodology): “The Ecuadorian isolate (DIS 70a) was screened for its mycoparasitic ability using a modification of a pre-colonized plate method (FOLEY & DEACON 1985; KRAUSS, BIDWELL & INCE 1998) as detailed in EVANS et al. (2003).”
Effect of inoculation method and plant growth medium on endophytic colonization of sorghum by the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana (2009, unknown): “endophyte in a variety of plants, including maize (Bing and Lewis 1991, 1992a, b; Wagner and Lewis 2000), Theobroma gileri (Evans et al. 2003), Carpinus caroliniana (Bills and Polishook 1991), in seeds and needles of Pinus monticola (Ganley and Newcombe 2005) in opium poppies (Quesada-Moraga et al.”
