The number of papers on the subject is so large that it is becoming difficult to have a complete overview of the state-of-the-art with reference to specific crops. In the absence of readily available documents providing circumstantial information on the endophytic assemblage of plants, the isolation of a certain fungal species may appear to be occasional or trivial; hence, many important findings are at risk of going unnoticed. This Special Issue aims to present a collection of papers dealing with the occurrence and functions of endophytic fungi in crop species. It may represent a useful tool for stakeholders in this particular research field, with a view to stimulating a more thorough consideration of the opportunities deriving from their discoveries.Research and information: generalbicsscAcaciaAlbiziaAlternariaamaryllisantagonismBauhiniaBerberisbioactive compoundsbiocontrolbioprospectingbiostimulantsbiosynthetic gene clustersBotryodiplodia theobromaeBotryosphaeria rhodinaCaesalpiniaCassiaCitrus spp.compositaeCordycipitaceaeCornuscrop protectiondefensive mutualismEFSAendobiomeendophytesendophytic fungiendosphereentomopathogensfungal entomopathogensfungifusaric acidFusariumHamamelisherbshigh-risk plantsIllumina MiSeqinduced systemic resistanceintegrated pest managementISRJasminusLamiaceaelatent pathogensLigustrumLoniceramedicinal plantsmetabolomemutualismmycotoxinsn/aNeriumonionsplant fitnessplant growth promotionplant pathogensRobiniasagesecondary metabolitessecondary raw materialsspecies complexessymbiosistrichothecenesResearch and information: generalNicoletti Rosarioedt317547Nicoletti RosarioothBOOK9910557613803321Occurrence and Functions of Endophytic Fungi in Crop Species3027451UNINA
