“…However, Neotyphodium and Epichloë endophytes only represent a small fraction of the endophytic species associated to grasses. Some grass species are associated to more than a hundred different species of fungal endophytes (Sánchez Márquez et al, 2007), and this number can be much greater for members of other plant families (Arnold et al, 2000;Stone et al, 2004). Endophytes are ubiquitous in the plant world, no report of a plant species not associated to them is known.…”

Endophytes are fungi which infect plants without causing symptoms. Fungi belonging to this group are ubiquitous, and plant species not associated to fungal endophytes are not known. In addition, there is a large biological diversity among endophytes, and it is not rare for some plant species to be hosts of more than one hundred different endophytic species. Different mechanisms of transmission, as well as symbiotic lifestyles occur among endophytic species. Latent pathogens seem to represent a relatively small proportion of endophytic assemblages, also composed by latent saprophytes and mutualistic species. Some endophytes are generalists, being able to infect a wide range of hosts, while others are specialists, limited to one or a few hosts. Endophytes are gaining attention as a subject for research and applications in Plant Pathology. This is because in some cases plants associated to endophytes have shown increased resistance to plant pathogens, particularly fungi and nematodes. Several possible mechanisms by which endophytes may interact with pathogens are discussed in this review.

“…Endophytic fungi are known to colonize different living plant tissues such as leaves, bark, and roots [1] without causing any immediate negative effects [2]. They can live throughout or a part of a life cycle without causing any damage or disease and are transmitted to the next generation, through tissues of hosts, seeds, vegetative propagules; or by spores carried by air, insect or small animals [3].…”

Scoparia dulcis of Scrophulariaceae is an annual herb distributed through out the tropics. Penicillium citrinum was obtained from apparently healthy roots, stem, leaves and fruits of this plant. Callus and multiple shoots produced during micropropagation from various explants were also symptomless but showed occurrence of Penicillium citrinum when cultured in Murashige & Skoog liquid medium for the production of secondary metabolites.

“…They can enter plant tissue through reproductive structures such as seeds or can enter the plant through wounds, stomata or lenticels and can infect the stems, twigs, roots and leaves (Brown and Hendrix 1981;Smith et al 1996a;Smith et al 1996b). These fungi have the ability to colonise hosts without any outward symptom development and they may remain quiescent inside the host for a length of time, where asymptomatic colonisation of hosts is characteristic of endophytes (Stone et al 2004;Seiber 2007). This quiescent phase may be disrupted by some form of stress on the host; such as water stress, causing the pathogenic phase of the lifecycle to be triggered.…”

“…Latent pathogens are characterised by asymptomatic infection of the host and disease expression is linked to host stress (Stone et al 2004;Seiber 2007;Dakin et al 2009). Plant material (including seeds and cuttings) may harbour potential pathogens asymptomatically and "healthy" material can be spread throughout different geographical areas.…”

Pathogenic Botryosphaeriaceae associated with Mangifera indica in the Kimberley Region of Western Australia

Members of the Botryosphaeriaceae, in particular Lasiodiplodia theobromae, Neofusicoccum parvum, Neofusicoccum mangiferae and Botryosphaeria dothidea, commonly cause stem cankers, dieback and stem end rot of mangoes worldwide. In the current study, eight taxa of Botryosphaeriaceae were identified as canker-associated fungi, pathogens, potential pathogens or endophytes of mangoes in the Kimberley, Australia. These include Neoscytalidium novaehollandiae, Neoscytalidium dimidiatum, Pseudofusicoccum adansoniae, P. ardesiacum, P.kimberleyense, Lasiodiplodia sp. 1, Lasiodiplodia iraniensis and Lasiodiplodia pseudotheobromae. The pathogenicity of a selection of these species toward fruit and branches was tested. All were pathogenic to mango in comparison to the control, with Lasiodiplodia spp.being the most pathogenic. It appears that either geographic isolation or the unique growing conditions in the Kimberley may have provided an effective barrier to the acquisition or establishment of known botryosphaeriaceous pathogens. Wounds caused by mechanical pruning may provide an entry point for infection, whilst severe pruning may increase plant stress.
