A tree's travel companion : A fungal endophyte ( Fusarium incarnatum ) isolated from a viviparous propagule (embryo) of a mangrove tree produces typical plant defense oxylipins. Stable‐isotope labeling experiments revealed that the endophyte biosynthesizes coriolic acid, didehydrocoriolic acid, and an epoxy fatty acid derived from linoleic acid by a process involving Δ 15 ‐desaturation and 13‐lipoxygenation.
