• Endophytic fungi as biocontrol agents: elucidating mechanisms in disease suppression (2018, background): “The presence of different microbial species in the same plant can trigger metabolite production by both endophyte and/or the host to limit growth of potentially pathogenic organisms (Kusari et al. 2012).”
• Endophytic fungi as direct plant growth promoters for sustainable agricultural production (2021, background): “…play an important role in PGP directly by improving plant nutrition, thanks to, for example, the endophytes’ production of compounds like vitamins (Yan et al. 2019), phytohormones such as indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) (Contreras-Cornejo et al. 2009), and secondary metabolites (Kusari et al. 2012).”
• Natural Product-Based Biopesticides for Insect Control (2010, background): “Therefore the presence of bioactive compounds is an important factor in the selection of the host plant.(14,15) There are several international patents on natural products of endophyte origin.”
• Endophytic fungi harbored in Cannabis sativa L.: diversity and potential as biocontrol agents against host plant-specific phytopathogens (2013, methodology): “It has been well established that even slight variations in the in vitro cultivation conditions can impact the kind and range of secondary metabolites endophytes produce (Scherlach and Hertweck 2009; Kusari et al. 2012b).”
• Endolichenic fungi: a new source of rich bioactive secondary metabolites on the horizon (2016, background): “The new endolichenic metabolites reviewed here, as well as previously described metabolites from these organisms, share many similar carbon skeletons with metabolites produced by endophytic fungi (Kharwar et al. 2011; Kusari et al. 2012; Stierle and Stierle 2015).”
