“…The most abundant Orders were Lulworthiales, Agaricales, Pezizales, and Pleosporales (Supplementary Fig. 2 ), all of which contain taxa that have been identified as DSE [ 37 , 61 , 62 ]. The most abundant Genera within those orders were Lulworthia , Psathyrella , Conlarium , and Anguillospora respectively.…”

Dark septate endophyte improves salt tolerance of native and invasive lineages of Phragmites australis

Fungal endophytes can improve plant tolerance to abiotic stress. However, the role of these plant–fungal interactions in invasive species ecology and their management implications remain unclear. This study characterized the fungal endophyte communities of native and invasive lineages of Phragmites australis and assessed the role of dark septate endophytes (DSE) in salt tolerance of this species. We used Illumina sequencing to characterize root fungal endophytes of contiguous stands of native and invasive P. australis along a salinity gradient. DSE colonization was assessed throughout the growing season in the field, and effects of fungal inoculation on salinity tolerance were investigated using laboratory and greenhouse studies. Native and invasive lineages had distinct fungal endophyte communities that shifted across the salinity gradient. DSE colonization was greater in the invasive lineage and increased with salinity. Laboratory studies showed that DSE inoculation increased P. australis seedling survival under salt stress; and a greenhouse assay revealed that the invasive lineage had higher aboveground biomass under mesohaline conditions when inoculated with a DSE. We observed that P. australis can establish mutualistic associations with DSE when subjected to salt stress. This type of plant–fungal association merits further investigation in integrated management strategies of invasive species and restoration of native Phragmites .

“…Conlarium sp. are DSE that have been found to be symbiotic in sugarcane roots [ 80 ] and Lulworthia sp. are DSE commonly isolated from marine and coastal systems where they are known to associate with roots of sea grasses and salt marsh plant species [ 62 , 81 ]; the ecological roles of these endophytes are still unknown.…”

“…Conlarium species are found from different habitats, such as freshwater and terrestrial, and three species are reported as endophytes (Liu et al 2012, Zhang et al 2017, Phookamsak et al 2019, Xie et al 2019, Dong et al 2021, Dubey & Manikpuri 2021. As known currently, members of Conlarium have only been reported from Asia (China, India and Thailand).…”

“…Up to date, eight species are accepted in Conlarium, of which C. aquaticum, C. dupliciascosporum and C. subglobosum were reported from freshwater habitats (Liu et al 2012, Zhang et al 2017, Dong et al 2021, and C. indicum and C. thailandense were known from terrestrial habitats (Phookamsak et al 2019, Dubey & Manikpuri 2021. Moreover, Conlarium baiseense, C. nanningense and C. sacchari were reported as endophytes isolated from sugarcane rhizosphere (Xie et al 2019).…”

A new hyphomycetous species, Conlarium sichuanense was found on dead branches of Ficus virens (Moraceae) from a terrestrial habitat in Sichuan Province, China. The new species has sporodochial colonies on natural substate, with micronematous conidiophores and muriform, brown and subglobose to irregular-shaped conidia. The phylogenetic analysis based on combined LSU, ITS and SSU sequence data showed that Conlarium sichuanense clustered together with C. aquaticum and C. thailandense and presented as a distinct lineage. A detailed, illustrated description and comparison with related Conlarium species are provided.
