Characterization of Epichloë coenophiala within the U.S.: are all tall fescue endophytes created equal? [PDF]

Frontiers in Chemistry, 2014
Tall fescue (Lolium arundinaceum) is a valuable and broadly adapted forage grass that occupies approximately 14 million hectares across the United States. A native to Europe, tall fescue was likely introduced into the U.S. around the late 1800’s. Much of

Cdc25-Mediated Activation of the Small GTPase RasB Is Essential for Hyphal Fusion and Symbiotic Infection of Epichloë festucae. [PDF]

Mol Plant Pathol
A conserved Cdc25–RasB signalling pathway, essential for hyphal fusion and host infection, is repurposed in Epichloë festucae to maintain a stable mutualistic symbiosis with grass hosts. ABSTRACT Epichloë festucae is a filamentous endophytic fungus that symbiotically colonises the intercellular spaces of aerial tissues in perennial ryegrass without ...

Is the endophyte-based plant protection against aphids mediated by changes in the insect microbiome? [PDF]

Insect Sci
We showed that the fungal endophyte Epichloë strain AR37 increased the plant resistance against aphids via the production of indole diterpene alkaloids. The reduction in aphid performance was not associated with changes in abundance/composition/diversity of the insect's bacterial microbiota, but additional endophyte effects on this microbiota cannot be

Effect of Epichloë Endophytes on Growth of Grass Pathogenic Fungi [PDF]

Microorganisms
Endophytic fungi widely colonize plant tissues without causing severe disease, protect hosts from pathogenic microorganisms, and represent a key potential resource for novel biocontrol agents.

Transcriptional profiling of glutathione metabolism and the glutathione redox cycle of Festuca sinensis infected with Epichloë sinensis in response to Na2SeO3 [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science
Epichloë endophytes enhance tolerance to metal stress in various cool-season grasses, but the mechanism of Epichloë-associated grasses responding to different concentrations of Na2SeO3 are still unclear.

Morphological, Molecular, and Alkaloid Gene Profiling of Epichloë Endophytes in Elymus cylindricus and Elymus tangutorum from China [PDF]

Microorganisms
Epichloë endophytes are mutualistic associates with grasses, conferring host plants with enhanced competitiveness, improved stress tolerance, and increased ecological dominance. Epichloë can produce any of several classes of bioactive alkaloids, of which

Fungal endophyte and nitrogen enrichment alter functional traits and productivity in a dominant grass

Ecosphere
Global change factors, such as anthropogenic nitrogen (N) enrichment, have been shown to have diverse and widespread effects on plants and ecosystem functioning, including effects on intraspecific trait variation.

Alien Chromatin from Hordeeae Grasses Enhances the Compatibility of Epichloë Endophyte Symbiosis with the Hexaploid Wheat Triticum aestivum [PDF]

Journal of Fungi
The inoculation of Epichloë endophytes into modern cereals, resulting in systemic infection, depends on the genetics of both the host and the endophyte strain deployed.

Unveiling an asymmetric plant–fungal symbiosis: morphological, cytogenetic, and molecular characterization of a haploid Epichloë festucae strain associated with three polyploid cytotypes of the Iberian endemic grass Festuca rothmaleri [PDF]

IMA Fungus
The ecological and evolutionary outcomes of plant–fungal interactions are strongly influenced by genome size and ploidy, yet the ploidy level of both partners is rarely assessed simultaneously.
