Plant secondary metabolites: a key driver of litter decomposition and soil nutrient cycling (2016, background): “This endophytic production of alkaloids in plants has been shown to slow litter decomposition rates by influencing the activity of microorganisms and detritivores (Omacini et al. 2004; Lemons, Clay & Rudgers 2005; Purahong & Hyde 2011; Iqbal et al. 2012).”
Transient leaf endophytes are the most active fungi in 1-year-old beech leaf litter (2017, background): “…a huge diversity of fungi is found in all plants, grasses may be (in addition) systemically inhabited by Clavicipitacean endophytes which are vertically transmitted and produce secondary metabolites protecting the host from feeding damage (Porras-Alfaro and Bayman 2011; Purahong and Hyde 2011).”
Phyllospheric Microbiomes: Diversity, Ecological Significance, and Biotechnological Applications (2020, background): “In general, endophytic fungi can help plant growth and also provide resistance to biotic (pathogens) and abiotic (drought and salinity) stresses, (Arnold et al. 2007; Purahong and Hyde 2011; Guerreiro et al. 2018; Yadav et al. 2018c).”
Community structure and preference of endophytic fungi of three woody plants in a mixed forest (2012, background): “…can produce various bioactive chemicals and have potential in biocontrol and resistance (Liu et al. 2009, 2011; Aly et al. 2010; Suryanarayanan et al. 2010; Rocha et al. 2011), and play important roles in recycling of nutrients in natural ecosystems (Purahong & Hyde 2011; Sun et al. 2011).”
Endophytic fungi harbored in Cannabis sativa L.: diversity and potential as biocontrol agents against host plant-specific phytopathogens (2013, background): “Endophytic microorganisms (‘endophytes’) are a group of highly assorted organisms that internally infect living plant tissues without instigating any noticeable symptom of infection or visible manifestation of disease, and live in mutualistic association with plants for at least a part of their life”
Fungal endophytes: an untapped source of biocatalysts (2012, background): “Such an arsenal of biocatalysts is not unexpected since endophytes (i) infect plant tissues such as leaves, (ii) survive in them and (iii) a few of them continue to survive in senesced leaves as saprotrophs, thus functioning as pioneer litter degraders (Kumaresan and Suryanarayanan 2002; Promputtha ”
Endophytic fungal diversity: review of traditional and molecular techniques (2012, background): “2010 ), and decompose litter (Purahong and Hyde 2011 ; Sun et al.”
Phyllosticta capitalensis, a widespread endophyte of plants (2013, background): “Fungal endophytes colonise healthy plant host tissues but may become pathogenic when the plant host is stressed through environmental or biological factors (Petrini 1991; Hyde and Soytong 2008; Purahong and Hyde 2011) that induce the fungus to change from one life mode to another (Fisher and Petrini”
