Endopytic fungi are known to innoculate grasses to the benefit of the plant. This is an area I am familiar with.
Seeds are treated with dormany Endophytes prior to planting.
The resulting plants are then bioassayed to determin extent of innoculation. The endophytic fungi then compete with other vascular dwelling fungi & iterfere with respiration & such.
Endophytes also repel certain insects.

This link gets into the relationship between endophytes & Anthracnose in Cucurbit.
