Effects on plant growth and root-knot nematode infection of an endophytic GFP transformant of the nematophagous fungus Pochonia chlamydosporia (2012, unknown): “Although mutualist endophytic fungi have been used for biocontrol of plant parasitic nematodes (Sikora et al. 2008), the use of nematophagous fungi as endophytes has not been fully exploited yet.”
Foliar endophytic fungi from Hevea brasiliensis and their antagonism on Microcyclus ulei (2011, background): “Endophytic fungi have been found to protect tomatoes (Hallman and Sikora 1995) and bananas (Pocasangre et al. 2001; Sikora et al. 2008) from nematodes, beans and barley from fungal pathogens (Boyle et al. 2001), and cacao from black pod disease, caused by Phytophthora spp., and frosty pod rot…”
Microbiology is the basis of sustainable agriculture: an opinion (2011, background): “Some defensive symbionts may evolve into severe plant pathogens, e.g. the deleterious F. oxysporum races represent the descendants of defensive endophytes (Sikora et al., 2008).”
Hidden fungi, emergent properties: endophytes and microbiomes. (2011, background): “Inoculation with Fusarium oxysporum reduced populations of nematodes in roots of banana and tomato plants (144).”
