Discovery, Isolation, and Identification of Antimalarials from Fungal Endophytes
We examined fungal endophytes for their ability to inhibit bacterial, fungal and protozoal pathogens. Once antimalarial activity was discovered and confirmed, we sought to isolate and identify the active constituent(s) of our extracts. Bioassay-guided fractionation techniques were used to isolate …

Diversity and spatial distribution of fungal endophytes in a Eucalyptus grandis tree
… sequencing of the barcode amplicons of all the fungal isolates present in the plants from the total DNA of the plant. Secondly, conventional DNA bar-coding of was done of fungal endophyte isolates. Isolates of the Botryosphaeriaceae family of latent endophytic pathogens were further …

Isolation and characterisation of bioactive compounds from Vitex pinnata and associated fungal endophytes
… sources including plants, marine organisms and endophytes is still pivotal in pharmaceutical research due to their ability of producing diverse and unique secondary metabolites. Discovery of secondary metabolites from leaves of Vitex pinnata, a medicinal plant from Malaysia and its associated …

Effects of coastal dynamics on colonization of Louisiana wetland plants by fungal endophytes
… the effects of stress and disturbance on fungal endophyte diversity and composition in obligate wetland plants in southeast Louisiana. I explored two types of endophytes: root and foliar. Each of these groups is known to live within apparently healthy host plants without causing symptoms …

A molecular characterization of the fungal endophytes within the needles of ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa)
<p>"Fungal endophytes (microbial fungi that live in plant tissues without causing disease) are ubiquitous in plants studied to date. Many conifers host endophytes that produce important bioactive secondary metabolites. While the endophytes in Pinus ponderosa roots have been studied, the endophyte …

Isolating and Identifying Fungal Endophytes from Roots of Rare Orchid Cypripedium arietinum in Grand Sable Dunes, Michigan
… little research on this species’ root associated fungal endophytes. This new population estimate allows the ethical, destructive sampling required to shed light on root associated symbionts and further successful preservation and restoration of the species. Samples were collected of current year’s …

The Evaluation of the Endophytic Mycobiome of Magnolia grandiflora
… occupying internal tissues of plants are called endophytes. Fungal endophytes are of major importance because they exist in the healthy tissues of all terrestrial plants and have in some cases been shown to contribute to the health of their plant hosts. They are also important because some fungi …

Functional diversity of fungal symbiont communities and the impact of biotic and abiotic factors on their composition and assembly
… dominant members of the plant microbiomes, the fungal endophytes, the main goal of this research was to investigate how the ecological context affect microbial symbiont community structure and assembly. To do that, first, I investigated patterns of carbon resource use and growth of fungal …

Characterization of tomato root-endophytic fungi and analysis of their effects on plant development, on fruit yield and quality and on interaction with the pathogen Verticillium dahliae
Non-mycorrhizal fungal endophytes are able to colonize internally roots without causing visible disease symptoms establishing neutral or mutualistic associations with plants. These fungi known as non-clavicipitaceous endophytes have a broad host range of monocot and eudicot plants and are highly …

Beneficial Fungal Secretome and Synthetic Consortia to Improve Soybean Growth During Drought Stress
… Our goal was to build a naturally occurring fungal synthetic community (FunSynCom) to improve growth and drought resilience in soybeans. In this study, we isolated, identified, and characterized a set of fungal endophytes from the rhizosphere of halophytic plants during a low-tide summer with …

Host Specificity, Negative Feedbacks, and Pathogen Defense in the Plant Phyllosphere Microbiome
… explored whether host specificity influences fungal endophyte community structure in plant leaves across several ecotypes of switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) and across 19 plant species within the Asteraceae family. In these works, I found contrasting results for the importance of host …

Unravelling the Ecological and Evolutionary Mysteries of the Rough Fescue Grasses F. Hallii and F. Campestris.
… Chapter 3 examines the prevalence of Epichloë fungal endophytes in wild rough fescue populations across a mosaic of disturbance conditions at Glenbow Ranch Provincial Park near Cochrane, Alberta. Here, I found high (µ >80%) levels of endophyte infection across all sites, and confirmed, for the …

Endophytic fungi of Tectona grandis L. (Teak).
… diversity, biology and ecological aspects of fungal endophytes of Tectona grandis (teak) from Chiang Mai Province, Thailand were investigated. It was found that the endophyte assemblages of mature leaves sampled from natural forest and plantation teak were not significantly different. Members …

Engineered microsystems and their application in the culture and characterization of three-dimensional (3D) breast tumor models
… platform in the process of drug discovery using fungal endophytes and their secondary metabolites as the source for potential anticancer molecules. Additionally, we developed gold nanoparticle and antibody-based (ICAM1 and CD11b) sensors to quantify cell responses spatiotemporally on our …

Fungicide and fertilizer-mediated changes in prairie plant-foliar fungal endophyte interactions
Submission original under an indefinite embargo labeled 'Open Access'. The submission was exported from vireo on 2025-02-04 without embargo terms

Induced defenses in apple fruits: linking fruit chemistry, quality, and plant-insect-microbe interactions
… Ultimately, phenolic defenses were induced by fungal damage primarily in ripe pulp tissues, where there was also a positive relationship between fungal endophyte and phenolic diversity, supporting a broad hypothesis that chemical diversity may increase with biotic diversity. Additionally, two …

FUNCTIONAL DIVERSITY OF FUNGI ASSOCIATED WITH DURUM WHEAT ROOTS IN DIFFERENT CROPPING SYSTEMS
… affected, but antagonists were suppressed. More fungal antagonists were detected after the chickpea CDC Luna than CDC Vanguard. Fungal species responded differently to the use of fungicides in vitro, but the aggregate inhibition effect on antagonists and highly virulent pathogens was similar. The …
