Abstract:Certain fungal endophytes are known to improve plant resistance to biotic stresses in forest trees. In this study, three stem fungal endophytes belonging to classes Cystobasidiomycetes, Eurotiomycetes and Dothideomycetes were selected among 210 isolates for their potential as enhancers of Ulmus minor resistance to Ophiostoma novo-ulmi. We evaluated phenotypic traits of these endophytes that could be beneficial for O. novo-ulmi inhibition in the host plant. Under in vitro conditions, the Dothideomycetous isolat… Show more
