They are ubiquitous and associated with nearly all plant species sampled. Even though the exact roles of endophytic fungi within a plant is yet to be established, many speculate that they play important roles in obtaining nutrients and thus improve plant growth, confer plant immunity and promote resistance against biotic and abiotic stresses. It has been postulated that endophytes can exhibit different lifestyles and can even switch lifestyle (i.e., from endophytic to pathogenic or saprobic depending upon plant growth stages). However, there is limited evidence as to whether this switch really happens in vivo. Along the same line, with increasing knowledge of endophytic diversity, defining endophytes has not been easy given their multifaceted functions. The present study provides an updated account with comprehensive knowledge on several aspects including problems with existing definitions, isolation and identification techniques, theoretical and experimental evidence of the role of endophytes, contribution to fungal diversity as well as agenda for future research avenues. For years there has been a number of controversies and debates surrounding as to what exactly is an endophyte. Most of the previous definitions were ephemeral in nature and rather vague and could not realistically define an endophyte. Taking into account numerous biological aspects, we propose herein that endophytes can be defined as “asymptomatic microbial partners that are intimately associated and co-inhabit within healthy internal plant tissues with the ability to confer benefits, co-evolve and alter their lifestyle depending upon plant life stages and adverse conditions”. We also discuss the evolution of endophytes based on fossil data and their co-evolution with their host partners. Studies on fungal endophytes have relied mostly on culture-dependent methods to enable their characterization. However, it is generally well known that these methods suffer drawbacks and there is a need to address the challenges associated with lack of sporulation to enable morphological characterization, slow growth on artificial media, as well as contamination issues. These issues are discussed and addressed in detail here. The molecular mechanisms underlying endophytic colonization, avoidance of plant defense mechanisms, lifestyle changes, as well as their genomics and transcriptomics, are also reviewed. We analyze the possibility of endophytes being host-specific or associated with certain hosts and finally provide an account of their economic importance. This outline of fungal endophytes will provide a more comprehensive understanding of endophytes and can serve for boost research into the exploration and their potential applications in the future.</p>","PeriodicalId":12471,"journal":{"name":"Fungal Diversity","volume":"45 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":20.3,"publicationDate":"2025-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143546596","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They are obligate parasites infecting a diversity of hosts, including crustaceans. Crustacea are, in essence, ancient insects and their relationship with the Microsporidia is both diverse and convoluted. Relationships between crayfish and their microsporidian parasites display geospatial and taxonomic diversity. Through classical (histological, ultrastructural, developmental) and genomic (phylogenetic, phylogenomic) approaches, we expand the known diversity of crayfish-infecting microsporidia into the genus <i>Nosema</i> by describing three novel species from North America: <i>Nosema astafloridana</i> n. sp. infecting <i>Procambarus pictus</i> and <i>Procambarus spiculifer</i>, <i>Nosema rusticus</i> n. sp. infecting <i>Faxonius rusticus</i>, and <i>Nosema wisconsinii</i> n. sp. infecting <i>Faxonius propinquus</i> and <i>Faxonius virilis</i>. Additionally, we provide SSU sequence data for further <i>Nosema</i> diversity from <i>Procambarus clarkii</i> and <i>Pacifasticus gambelii</i>. The taxonomy of aquatic crustacean-infecting <i>Nosema</i> have been under scrutiny among microsporidiologists—using genomic data we solidify this systematic relationship. Our genomic data reveal phylogenomic divergence between terrestrial insect-infecting <i>Nosema</i> and aquatic crustacean-infecting <i>Nosema</i> but place our novel species within the <i>Nosema</i>. Comparative genomic analysis reveal that <i>Nosema rusticus</i> n. sp. is a tetraploid organism, making this the first known polyploid from the genus <i>Nosema</i>. Annotation of the genomic data highlight that crayfish-infecting <i>Nosema</i> have distinct proteomic differences when compared to amphipod and insect-infecting microsporidians. Alongside the new diversity uncovered and genome-supported systematics, we consider the role of these new ‘invasive’ parasites in biological invasion systems, exploring their relationship with their invasive hosts.</p>","PeriodicalId":12471,"journal":{"name":"Fungal Diversity","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":20.3,"publicationDate":"2024-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142599658","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The review first looks at estimates of fungal numbers and what these estimates are based on. It then presents future research needs that will help us to gain a more accurate estimate of fungal numbers. This includes work that needs to be done in tropical rainforests, where the greatest diversity is expected, where whole rainforests, canopy diversity, and palm fungi are addressed. Case studies for lichens and associated fungi, soil and litter fungi, evidence from particle filtration, freshwater fungi, marine fungi, mushrooms, and yeasts will also be given.

The higher-level ranking of fungi has been discussed in the framework of molecular phylogenetics since Hibbett et al., and the definition and the higher ranks (e.g., phyla) of the ‘true fungi’ have been revised in several subsequent publications. Rapid accumulation of novel genomic data and the advancements in phylogenetics now facilitate a robust and precise foundation for the higher-level classification within the kingdom. This study provides an updated classification of the kingdom <i>Fungi</i>, drawing upon a comprehensive phylogenomic analysis of <i>Holomycota</i>, with which we outline well-supported nodes of the fungal tree and explore more contentious groupings.
