Antagonism to Plant Pathogens by Epichloë Fungal Endophytes—A Review [PDF]
, 2021 Epichloë is a genus of filamentous fungal endophytes that has co-evolved with cool-season grasses with which they form long-term, symbiotic associations.

Asexual Epichloë fungi: Obligate mutualists [PDF]
, 2021 Asexual Epichloë are obligate fungal mutualists that form symbiosis with many temperate grass species, providing several advantages to the host. These advantages include protection against vertebrate and invertebrate herbivores (i.e., grazing livestock ...

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

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.

Epichloë endophytes alter inducible indirect defences in host grasses. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Epichloë endophytes are common symbionts living asymptomatically in pooid grasses and may provide chemical defences against herbivorous insects. While the mechanisms underlying these fungal defences have been well studied, it remains unknown whether ...

The effect of Epichloë on the microbiota of established perennial ryegrass pastures [PDF]
, 2023 Perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) is a critical agricultural plant supporting New Zealand's intensive pasture-based dairy industry. A significant breakthrough in perennial ryegrass research was the discovery of Epichloë, a genus of ascomycete fungi ...

Journal of Fungi, 2022 Photosynthesis is essential for the growth of all green plants, and the presence of an Epichloë endophyte enhances the photosynthesis of Achnatherum inebrians (drunken horse grass, DHG), including when it is under attack by fungal pathogens. However, few
