701 citations recorded by the source corpus.

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 whether

Diversity and host range of foliar fungal endophytes: are tropical leaves biodiversity hotspots? (2007, background): “Redman et al. (2002) demonstrated that endophytes enhance thermotolerance and salinity tolerance of temperate plants, augmenting their Manuscript received 20 September 2005; revised 24 April 2006; accepted 2 May 2006.”
The evolution of facilitation and mutualism (2009, background): “…1994; Brooker et al. 2008); one well-understood class of mutualisms involves a species that gains protection from the abiotic environment or natural enemies via association with a species at the same or different trophic level (Bronstein & Barbosa 2002; Redman et al. 2002; Hay et al. 2004).”
Relationships between endophyte diversity and leaf optical properties (2011, background): “Grasses infected with endophytes survived in warmer soils (65C), whereas endophyte-free individuals failed to survive ( Redman et al. 2002 ).”

The Hidden World within Plants: Ecological and Evolutionary Considerations for Defining Functioning of Microbial Endophytes (2015, background): “Another example of tripartite interactions is provided by a virus-infected fungal endophyte of Curvularia protuberata, which systemically colonizes the geothermal grass Dichanthelium lanuginosum (119, 339, 340) and increases its tolerance to high temperatures.”
Fungal endophytes from higher plants: a prolific source of phytochemicals and other bioactive natural products (2010, background): “Colonization of host plants by endophytic fungi is believed to contribute to host plant adaptation to biotic and abiotic stress factors (Redman et al. 2002; Arnold et al. 2003; Waller et al. 2005; Zhang et al. 2006; Akello et al. 2007; Bae et al. 2009; Giordano et al. 2009).”
Effect of inoculation with a thermotolerant plant growth promoting Pseudomonas putida strain AKMP7 on growth of wheat (Triticum spp.) under heat stress (2011, background): “It has been suggested that bacterial inoculation alleviated abiotic stresses like drought, chilling, salinity, metal toxicity and elevated temperature (Timmusk and Wagner 1999; Redman et al. 2002; Han and Lee 2005; Ait Barka et al. 2006; Marquez et al. 2007; Dell’ Amico et al. 2008; Ali et al. 2009;”

Muscodor sutura, a novel endophytic fungus with volatile antibiotic activities (2012, background): “…but it differs from all other Muscodor spp. Justification for a new species, as Muscodor sutura, is collectively based on morphological, cultural, chemical, and bioactivity properties. of plants growing in geothermal soils may be related to the endophytes associ-ated with them (Redman et al. 2002).”
Diversity and structure of the fungal endophytic assemblages from two sympatric coastal grasses. (2008, positive): “Some mutualistic fungal endophytes have been found in very high frequencies (0.75-1.00) in host populations (Redman et al., 2002; Schardl et al., 2004).”
Microbially Mediated Plant Functional Traits (2011, background): “…example of microbial mediation of abiotic stress tolerance comes from the grass Dichanthelium lanuginosum that occurs on soils near thermal vents in Yellowstone park; when cured of its fungal endophyte Curvularia, the grass is no longer able to tolerate high temperatures (Redman et al., 2002).”
Hidden fungi, emergent properties: endophytes and microbiomes. (2011, background): “A virus infecting the endophyte Curvularia protuberata appears to be necessary for thermotolerance to Dichanthelium lanuginosum (panic grass) in geothermal soils of Yellowstone National Park; neither the plant nor the endophyte can survive temperatures above 38◦C, but together they can survive inter”
A general suite of fungal endophytes dominate the roots of two dominant grasses in a semiarid grassland (2010, background): “In some extreme and stressful environments, recent research suggests that some RAF are necessary for plant growth (Redman et al., 2002; Braun et al., 2003; Mandyam and Jumpponen, 2005; McLellan et al., 2007).”
