Microorganisms, 2020 Fungal endophytes of the genus Epichloë live symbiotically in cool season grass species and can produce alkaloids toxic to insects and vertebrates, yet reports of intoxication of grazing animals have been rare in Europe in contrast to overseas.

Origin, divergence, and phylogeny of asexual Epichloë endophyte in Elymus species from western China. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Asexual Epichloë species are likely derived directly from sexual Epichloë species that then lost their capacity for sexual reproduction or lost sexual reproduction because of interspecific hybridization between distinct lineages of sexual Epichloë and/or

Vegetative hyphal fusion and subsequent nuclear behavior in Epichloë grass endophytes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Epichloë species (including the former genus Neotyphodium) are fungal symbionts of many agronomically important forage grasses, and provide their grass hosts with protection from a wide range of biotic and abiotic stresses.

Journal of Fungi, 2022 Plants harbor a variety of fungal symbionts both above- and belowground, yet little is known about how these fungi interact within hosts, especially in a world where resource availability is changing due to human activities.

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 Cool season grasses associate asymptomatically with foliar Epichloë endophytic fungi in a symbiosis where Epichloë spp. protects the plant from a number of biotic and abiotic stresses.

Knowing your neighbourhood—the effects of Epichloë endophytes on foliar fungal assemblages in perennial ryegrass in dependence of season and land-use intensity [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Epichloë endophytes associated with cool-season grass species can protect their hosts from herbivory and can suppress mycorrhizal colonization of the hosts’ roots. However, little is known about whether or not Epichloë endophyte infection can also change

Advances in research on Epichloë endophytes in Chinese native grasses
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016 Epichloë fungal endophytes are broadly found in cool-season grasses. The symbiosis between these grasses and Epichloë may improve the abiotic and biotic resistance of the grass plant, but some Epichloë species produce alkaloids that are toxic for ...

Endophytic Fungus Negatively Affects Salt Tolerance of Tall Fescue
Journal of Fungi, 2022 Vertically transmitted endophytic fungi can mitigate the negative effects of salinity encountered by their host grass and alter the competitive interactions between plant individuals.

Identification of the fungal endophyte of Ammophila breviligulata (American beachgrass) as Epichloë amarillans [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 The grass Ammophila breviligulata (American beachgrass) is known to host an endophyte of the genus Epichloë. Based on morphological characteristics it was originally identified as Acremonium typhinum var.
