Dark septate endophytes (DSE) may facilitate plant growth and stress tolerance in stressful ecosystems. However, little is known about the response of plants to non-host DSE fungi isolated from other plants, especially under drought condition. This study aimed seek apply evaluate their promoting effects a desert species, Ammopiptanthus mongolicus, Nine strains super-xerophytic shrub, Gymnocarpos przewalskii, were identified used as DSE. And colonization rate (30-35%) species composition...

Although the ecological function of dark septate endophytes (DSEs) is well studied, little known about responses host plant to DSEs obtained from other plants, especially under conditions heavy metal stress. This study aimed investigate how a heavy-metal habitat affect non-host plants in cadmium (Cd) stress soils, which then provides basis for application cultivation different and soil remediation strategies polluted ecosystems. We isolated identified two species DSE (Acrocalymma vagum...

Despite desert ecosystem being crucial to our understanding of natural geography, species evolution and global climate change, there is limited information on the dynamics their composition diversity endophytic fungi communities driven by plant identity organ differentiation. Here, an extensive investigation fungal microbiome in root, stem, leaf organs associated with five xerophyte shrubs extremely arid desert, Northwest China, were examined. The community dominated Dothideomycetes...

Hedysarum scoparium, a species characterized by rapid growth and high drought resistance, has been used widely for vegetative restoration of arid regions in Northwest China that are prone to desertification. Desert soil is typically deficient available water the alleviation stress host plants endophytes could be an efficient strategy increase success desert restoration. With objective seek more beneficial symbionts can revegetation strategies, we addressed question whether H. scoparium...

Dark septate endophytes (DSEs) usually colonize plant roots, especially in stress environments. However, their relationship with plants ranges from beneficial to harmful and has remained largely uncharacterized. In the present study, 14 DSE species grouped into 11 genera were isolated roots of a desert plant, Artemisia ordosica, which is widely distributed northwest China. Three dominant species-Paraphoma chrysanthemicola (Pc), Alternaria chartarum (Ac), Acrocalymma vagum (Av)-were selected...

Drought is a major abiotic stress factor affecting plant growth and production, while utilizing beneficial endophytic fungi one of the most promising strategies for enhancing drought tolerance. In current study, pot experiment was conducted to investigate effects dark septate endophyte (DSE) (Macrophomina pseudophaseolina, Paraphoma radicina) Trichoderma (Trichoderma afroharzianum, longibrachiatum) inoculum on Astragalus mongholicus grown in sterile soil under stress, alone, or combination....

is a famous traditional medicinal plant. However, drought and cadmium (Cd) pollution are the main abiotic stress factors that affect plant growth yield ability to improve host's resistance through use of beneficial endophytic fungi. To evaluate tolerance dark septate endophytes (DSE) various stresses, 10 DSE strains [

Exploring the interactions between dark septate endophytes (DSE) in plant roots across diverse heavy metal habitats-considering host plants, site characteristics, and microbial communities-provides insights into distribution patterns of DSE metal-rich environments their mechanisms for developing resistance. This study collected samples three common species (Phragmites australis, PA, Setaria viridis, SV, Artemisia annua, AA) corresponding soil from metal-contaminated sites: Baiyang Lake, BY,...

Pleosporales, the largest order in Dothideomycetes, has a broad host range and inhabits plants as epiphytes, endophytes, parasites saprophytes. Trematosphaeriaceae is monophyletic family composed of species deviated ecological background morphological traits. In this study, we described new fungal taxon under Trematosphaeriaceae, based on root endophytic fungi recovered from desert plant Gymnocarposprzewalskii Gansu Province, China. The characterised by simple, aseptate conidia pycnidia...

ABSTRACT Drought is a major threat to wheat production. Utilising microbial inoculant technology enhance crop drought resistance achieve high yield has emerged as promising strategy. Dark septate endophytes (DSEs) can improve plant resistance; however, there little research on the DSE preparation. In this study, two dominant strains, Alternaria alstroemeriae ( Aa ) and Paraphoma chrysanthemicola Pc were screened through inoculation experiment of under stress. Finally, optimal embedding...

Introduction Pyrus betulifolia is tolerant to diverse environmental conditions and commonly planted in infertile habitats (such as beaches ridges) conserve arable land for cereal crops. Symbiotic fungi the rhizosphere root endosphere benefit host plants by enhancing their resilience nutritional deficiencies under stressful conditions. However, mechanisms underlying assembly of these symbiotic fungal communities roots P. across different remain poorly understood. Methods 30-year-old were...

Dark septate endophytes (DSEs) commonly colonize plant roots in heavy metal-polluted habitats, but little is known about the potential mechanisms driving medicinal plants to adapt environments. Here, we investigated growth of Paraboeremia selaginellae strains and their enhancing cadmium (Cd) tolerance Salvia miltiorrhiza Cd-contaminated soil. First, tested Cd resistance P. by vitro culture. Then, studied performance S. inoculated with It was found that possessed a capacity accumulate its...
