Endophyte research: going beyond isolation and metabolite documentation (2013, background): “As far as the cost to the host, one inconclusive study (Arnold and Engelbrecht, 2007) indicates that water loss under dry conditions ismore rapid in plantswith endophytes than in those without them.”
Fungal endophytes: diversity and functional roles. (2009, background): “Notably, Schulz et al. (1998, 1999) demonstrated that some Class 3 endophytes negatively impact plant growth, and Arnold & Engelbrecht (2007) demonstrated that some seedlings lose water more quickly under severe drought when natural assemblages of Class 3 endophytes are present.”
Relationships between endophyte diversity and leaf optical properties (2011, background): “The endophyte infection may markedly influence minimum leaf conductance and consequently affect the water relation of the host and therefore function as a feedback mechanism (Arnold and Engrelbrecht 2007).”
Understanding the diversity of foliar endophytic fungi: progress, challenges, and frontiers (2007, unknown): “Supporting data come from studies that have raised endophyte-free seedlings under sterile conditions (Arnold and Engelbrecht 2007), placed sterile seedlings in the ﬁeld to observe colonization by ambient fungi (Arnold & Herre 2003), measured infection frequency in leaves as they age (Arnold et al.…”
Communities of fungal endophytes in tropical forest grasses: highly diverse host- and habitat generalists characterized by strong spatial structure (2014, background): “…interactions between tropical endophytes and their hosts, including defense against pathogens and herbivores, alteration of photosynthetic efficiency, and changes in water relations (e.g., Pinto et al., 2000; Arnold et al., 2003; Arnold and Engelbrecht, 2007; Van Bael et al., 2009a, 2009b).”
Endophytic fungal communities in woody perennials of three tropical forest types of the Western Ghats, southern India (2011, background): “Foliar endophytes may impose a significant cost on the host plant (Arnold and Engelbrecht 2007; Botella et al. 2010), alter the fitness of the host plant (Redman et al. 2002; Waller et al. 2005; Giordano et al. 2009; Botella et al. 2010), and initiate leaf litter degradation thus aiding in nutrient…”
