Colonisation of barley roots by endophytic Fusarium equiseti and Pochonia chlamydosporia: effects on plant growth and disease. (2009, background): “Fungal endophytes may help their host plants adapt to habitats, protect against biotic or abiotic stresses, promote plant growth or facilitate soil nutrient uptake (Sieber, 2002; Rodriguez et al., 2004; Schulz & Boyle, 2005; Rodriguez & Redman, 2008).”
Plant Growth-Promoting Bacteria as Bioinoculants: Attributes and Challenges for Sustainable Crop Improvement (2021, background): “Endophytes, or the plant endobiome if we refer to endophytic communities, have been proposed to have a long-lasting relationship as old as 400 million years [18,19].”
Fungal endophytes: unique plant inhabitants with great promises (2011, background): “This indicates that individual fungal species that can switch lifestyles may represent evolutionary transitions, or simply fungi that have achieved a significant degree of ecological plasticity, thus ensuring optimal growth and reproduction in a variety of hosts, which will ultimately result in expa”

Phyllosticta—an overview of current status of species recognition (2011, background): “Endophytes are fungi that asymptomatically colonize plant tissues during some phase of their life cycle (Petrini 1991; Hyde and Soytong 2008; Saikkonen 2007), but may turn pathogenic during host senescence (Rodriguez and Redman 2008; Rodriguez et al. 2009).”
