A mutualistic association between a fungal endophyte and a tropical panic grass allows both organisms to grow at high soil temperatures. We characterized a virus from this fungus that is involved in t...

Serratia plymuthica is a ubiquitous bacterium with broad ecological relevance that can be isolated from soil, water, insects, plants, and fruits. Although widely distributed, it is most frequently isolated from the plant rhizosphere, where it occurs both as a free-living rhizobacterium and as a non-rhizobial endophyte. While several Serratia species are recognized as opportunistic pathogens (e.g., Serratia marcescens), S. plymuthica is primarily recognized for its beneficial interactions with plants and is widely regarded as a plant growth-promoting and biocontrol bacterium.

A central paradigm in plant biology is that there is a trade-off between growth and defence. We propose that Epichloë fungal endophytes relieve this t…

The role and use of Epichloë fungal endophytes in grazed temperate grass pastures and turf grasses are now well understood with regard to balancing pasture persistence while minimising animal health ....

Focused exclusively on agricultural biologicals, ENAI combines endophyte plant science, large scale field testing and proprietary intelligence to accelerate microbial discovery to deliver a new layer of crop performance. BOSTON, Aug. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Indigo Agriculture today...

Plant–microorganism interactions are often interpreted through terms such as symbiosis, mutualism, and endophytism. Here, we analyze this issue in Mucoromycotin

Fatima et al. show that the ethylene signaling-REF6 module activates thermoresponsive gene expression via histone demethylation thereby protecting plant growth and reproduction. The beneficial endophyte Enterobacter sp. SA187 enhances plant growth and reproductive thermotolerance through ethylene-REF6 regulation resulting in improved pollen viability and seed production under elevated temperature (eT).

Abstract. Plant root microbial symbioses influence plant performance and ecosystem processes. Among these, dark septate endophyte (DSE) fungi are ubiquitou
