Dark septate endophytes improve the growth of host and non-host plants under drought stress through altered root development (2019, positive): “Indeed, several DSE act as plant growth promoters by facilitating C, N, and P uptake (Della Monica et al. 2015; Newsham 2011; Surono 2017), and by protecting plants against biotic (pathogen) and abiotic stress (heavy metal, elevated CO2, drought) (Alberton et al. 2010; Andrade-Linares et al. 2011;…”
Species and organ specificity of fungal endophytes in herbaceous grassland plants (2012, background): “Some may act in a similar way to mycorrhizas and may improve the growth and nutrient uptake of plants (Newsham 2011), whilst others may increase resistance of foliage to insect herbivores (Jallow, Dugassa-Gobena & Vidal 2004).”
Forest Tree Microbiomes and Associated Fungal Endophytes: Functional Roles and Impact on Forest Health (2019, background): “However, it is clear that some root endophytes can induce positive responses of their tree hosts through the modulation of the host physiology and growth via nutrient acquisition [92,152,212,220].”
