A fungal endophyte induces transcription of genes encoding a redundant fungicide pathway in its host plant

BACKGROUND: Taxol is an anti-cancer drug harvested from Taxus trees, proposed ecologically to act as a fungicide. Taxus is host to fungal endophytes, defined as organisms that inhabit plants without causing disease. The Taxus endophytes have been shown to synthesize Taxol in vitro, providing Taxus w...
