Identification and Characterization of Three Epichloë Endophytes Isolated from Wild Barley in China [PDF]

Journal of Fungi
Epichloë endophytes have been found in cool-season grasses and can produce alkaloids that are toxic to vertebrates and insects. Due to their beneficial effects, Epichloë can provide plants with resistance to some abiotic and biotic stresses.

Discovery and Characterization of Epichloë Fungal Endophytes from Elymus spp. in Northwest China [PDF]

Microorganisms
Epichloë fungal endophytes hold promise in sustainable agriculture by fortifying cool-season grasses such as Elymus spp. against various stresses. Elymus spp. are widely distributed in Northwest China with a high incidence of endophyte infections.

Epichloë Endophytes Shape the Foliar Endophytic Fungal Microbiome and Alter the Auxin and Salicylic Acid Phytohormone Levels in Two Meadow Fescue Cultivars

Journal of Fungi, 2023
Plants harbor a large diversity of endophytic microbes. Meadow fescue (Festuca pratensis) is a cool-season grass known for its symbiotic relationship with the systemic and vertically—via seeds—transmitted fungal endophyte Epichloë uncinata, yet its ...

Allelopathic Effects of Foliar Epichloë Endophytes on Belowground Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi: A Meta-Analysis

Agriculture, 2022
Many grasses are simultaneously symbiotic with Epichloë fungal endophytes and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). Epichloë endophytes are a group of filamentous fungi that colonize and grow within aerial plant tissues, such as leaves and stems. Infection

The fungus Clonostachys epichloë alters the influence of the Epichloë endophyte on seed germination and the biomass of Puccinellia distans grass

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
The fungal grass endophyte Epichloë typhina (Pers.) Tul. & C. Tul. (Ascomycota: Clavicipitaceae) grows intercellulary in aerial plant parts and reproduces asexually by invading host seeds.

Direct classification of related species of fungal endophytes (Epichloëspp.) using visible and near-infrared spectroscopy and multivariate analysis [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2008
The aim of this work was to investigate the potential of visible and near-infrared (Vis-NIR) reflectance spectroscopy for the classification of three morphologically similar species of fungal endophytes of grasses. Vis-NIR spectra (400-2498 nm) from 34 isolates of Epichloë sylvatica, 32 of Epichloë typhina and 38 of Epichloë festucae were recorded ...

The effect of Epichloë endophyte on phyllosphere microbes and leaf metabolites in Achnatherum inebrians

iScience, 2022
Summary: Upon exposure to the prevailing environment, leaves become increasingly colonized by fungi and bacteria located on the surface (epiphytic) or within (endophytic) the leaves.

Epichloë gansuensis Increases the Tolerance of Achnatherum inebrians to Low-P Stress by Modulating Amino Acids Metabolism and Phosphorus Utilization Efficiency

Journal of Fungi, 2021
In the long-term evolutionary process, Achnatherum inebrians and seed-borne endophytic fungi, Epichloë gansuensis, formed a mutually beneficial symbiosis relationship, and Epichloë gansuensis has an important biological role in improving the tolerance of
