Beauveria bassiana as an endophyte: a critical review on associated methodology and biocontrol potential (2017, background): “However, specific endophytic fungi may protect the host plant from various pests by producing toxic compounds (Saikkonen et al. 2010) or by modifying the host plant defence response to enable pest and pathogen resistance.”
From morphology to molecular biology: can we use sequence data to identify fungal endophytes? (2011, background): “Fungal endophytes are important in plant ecology because of their significance as latent pathogens and beneficial symbionts (Clay 1991; Rodriguez et al. 2004; Hyde and Soytong 2008; Aly et al. 2010; Saikkonen et al. 2010; Thirunavukkarasu et al. 2011).”
Fungal endophytes: an untapped source of biocatalysts (2012, background): “benefits to the plant host such as tolerance/resistance to drought, heat, herbivory and disease (Saikkonen et al. 2010; Vesterlund et al. 2011; Hubbard et al. 2012).”
Endophytic fungal diversity: review of traditional and molecular techniques (2012, background): “…bioactive chemicals (Liu et al. 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011; Aly et al. 2010; Xu et al. 2010; Tejesvi et al. 2011), promote host growth and resistance to environmental stress (Cheplick et al. 1989; Ting et al. 2008; Saikkonen et al. 2010), and decompose litter (Purahong and Hyde 2011; Sun et al. 2011).”
Community composition of endophytic fungi in Acer truncatum and their role in decomposition (2010, background): “Because of the high diversity of endophytic fungi (Arnold and Lutzoni 2007 ;H yde and Soytong 2007, 2008), their ability to produce various bioactive chemicals (Aly et al. 2010 ;X u et al.2010 )a nd promotion of host growth and resistance (Cheplick et al. 1989 ;T ing et al.2008; Saikkonen et al. 20”
Chitinolytic enzymes from endophytic fungi (2011, background): “Their interaction with their respective host plants and their functions are not clearly understood (Priti et al. 2009; Albrectsen et al. 2010; Saikkonen et al. 2010).”
Forest Tree Microbiomes and Associated Fungal Endophytes: Functional Roles and Impact on Forest Health (2019, background): “Fungi display a wide spectrum of lifestyles ranging from beneficial mutualistic symbionts [37], latent endophytes [20,38,39], and benign saprotrophs [40] to devastating necrotrophic pathogens [41].”
Beneficial microbes ameliorate abiotic and biotic sources of stress on plants (2020, background): “…could result from the increased importance of resources provided by beneficial microbes under the burden of enemy defence costs (Mayerhofer et al., 2013; Omacini et al., 2012; Saikkonen et al., 2006, 2010) or by symbionts priming plant defence (Jung et al., 2012; Martinez-Medina et al., 2016).”
