Endophyte-mediated resistance against white pine blister rust in Pinus monticola (2008, result): “…pathogen damage due to endophyte-mediated resistance against Phytophthora spp. is also indicative of an induced resistance response, as in vitro studies showed that the majority of endophytes in this system were not antagonistic against three different fungal pathogens (Arnold et al., 2003).”
Diversity and structure of the fungal endophytic assemblages from two sympatric coastal grasses. (2008, neutral): “…endophytes associated to plant species in environments where biotic or abiotic stress factors are present has led to the discovery of several species of mutualistic endophytes which may improve plant adaptation (Redman et al., 2002; Arnold et al., 2003; Schardl et al., 2004; Waller et al., 2005).”
Shade tree management affects fruit abortion, insect pests and pathogens of cacao (2007, background): “, Nichols and Walmsley, 1965; Pı́as and Guitián, 2006) and external (e.g., Louda, 1982; Arnold et al., 2003) factors can be a major bottleneck in plant reproductive success.”
Fungal endophyte diversity in coffee plants from Colombia, Hawai'i, Mexico and Puerto Rico (2010, methodology): “The most common endophyte was Colletotrichum; it has also been reported as the most common endophyte in tropical Theobroma cacao (Arnold et al. 2003), and is a commonly isolated endophytic genus in the tropics, having been reported in Amomum siamense, Anacardium occidentale, Citrus spp., C.…”
Biocontrol potential of Trichoderma martiale against the black-pod disease (Phytophthora palmivora) of cacao. (2009, background): “Since the cacao tree presents a complex endophytic ( Arnold et al., 2003; Crozier et al., 2006) and epiphytic (Ten Hoopen et al., 2003) microbiota, lower initial amounts of the antagonist on the other hand are likely more susceptible to competition effects by other microorganisms.”
Insect-Fungal Associations: Ecology and Evolution (2005, background): “Several authors (Fröhlich and Hyde 1999; Arnold et al. 2003) have documented high turnover in endophyte species composition among conspecific hosts at a landscape scale, indicating inconsistent infection of given hosts by particular endophyte taxa, and thereby violating one of Carroll’s (1986) crite”
Forest Tree Microbiomes and Associated Fungal Endophytes: Functional Roles and Impact on Forest Health (2019, background): “[109] demonstrates that an antipathogenic defense by a certain assemblage of endophytes from naturally infected but asymptomatic tissues reduced leaf necrosis caused by Phytophthora sp.”
Site‐ and species‐specific differences in endophyte occurrence in two herbaceous plants (2007, methodology): “The data for C. arvense are very similar, as the scale over which we sampled was considerably less than that of Arnold et al. (2003) and cover the linear part of their decline.”
Some Evolutionary Consequences of Being a Tree (2006, background): “…with similarly short generation times could mediate defense against antagonists, as in the case of protective ant-plant interactions corresponding to antiherbivore defenses “worn on the outside” (Heil & McKey 2003) or in fungal endophytes that limit pathogen damages (Arnold et al. 2003).”
Fungal endophytes: an untapped source of biocatalysts (2012, background): “Some of the early focus was on the use of endophytes as biocontrol agents (Arnold et al. 2003; Vega 2008; Rocha et al. 2011) and as a possible source of novel bioactive compounds (Gunatilaka 2006; Weber 2009; Aly et al.”
Endophytic fungi as biocontrol agents: elucidating mechanisms in disease suppression (2018, background): “Arnold et al. (2003) found that foliar application of a mixture of frequently isolated endophytes from cacao tree leaves to endophyte-free seedlings locally reduced the disease symptoms of Phytophthora spp. on foliage, indicating competition as a mechanism.”
