effects of dark septate endophytes on tomato plant performance.	non-mycorrhizal fungal root endophytes can be found in all natural and cultivated ecosystems, but little is known about their impact on plant performance. the impact of three mitosporic dark septate endophytes (dse48, dse49 and leptodontidium orchidicola) on tomato plant characteristics was studied. their effects on root and shoot growth, their influence on fruit yield and fruit quality parameters and their ability to diminish the impact of the pathogen verticillium dahliae were investigated. wh ...	2010	21184117
phialide arrangement and character evolution in the helotialean anamorph genera cadophora and phialocephala.	the dematiaceous hyphomycete genera cadophora and phialocephala are anamorphs associated with mollisoid inoperculate discomycetes (helotiales) and are delineated based on the complexity of the phialide arrangement, with members of cadophora producing solitary phialides and species of phialocephala producing complex heads of multiple phialides. a third, phylogenetically related taxon, leptodontidium orchidicola, produces mostly indehiscent conidia that may represent non-functional phialides. morp ...	2011	22067303
