Now we were interested in an endophytic fungus whose role in poplar-insect interactions is still largely unexplored," says first author Christin Walther, explaining the starting point of the study.

Researchers report on the influence of an endophytic fungus of the genus Cladosporium on the defense of black poplars against herbivorous insects. The fungus, which lives inside the leaves ...

It is also possible that this similarity results from gene exchange between an endophyte and its host." To determine whether it was possible to cultivate P. kurdistanesis in vitro, the research team ...

Some of these organisms, mostly bacteria or fungi, make the plants sick, while others have no harmful effect on the plants or are even beneficial. Previous studies of endophytic fungi living ...

Feb. 26, 2025 — Researchers report on the influence of an endophytic fungus of the genus Cladosporium on the defense of black poplars against herbivorous insects. The fungus, which lives inside ...

All plants examined to date have been shown to harbour at least one endophytic fungal species ... the long-held assumption that filamentous fungi grow exclusively at hyphal tips and, as the ...

The incidence of root infection and the amount of endophyte mycelium on the root surface and in the rhizosphere differ greatly in different habitats and communities. For example, in sanddune ...

Currently I am involved in projects exploring the dynamics of AM fungal communities across disturbance gradients, the interplay between AMF and fine root endophyte fungi in the arbuscular symbiosis ...

Endophytic fungi of the genus Cladosporium enhance black poplar defenses by increasing the production of defensive substances and producing the alkaloid stachydrine, which deters herbivorous insects.

Some of these organisms, mostly bacteria or fungi, make the plants sick, while others have no harmful effect on the plants or are even beneficial. Previous studies of endophytic fungi living inside ...
