The 3D genome of Gigaspora margarita unveils stable chromatin and nucleolar organization and symbiont‐dependent genome dynamics

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are widespread plant symbionts that enhance nutrient acquisition and influence ecosystem productivity. Previous chromosome‐level assemblies of the model species Rhizophagus irregularis revealed a two‐compartment genome architecture (active A and repressed B chromatin compartments), yet its conservation across ...

Epichloë Endophyt-Gras Symbiosen in Deutschland – Infektionsraten, Alkaloidkonzentrationen und mögliche Vergiftungsrisiken [PDF]

, 2020
Endophytes live in partial symbiosis inside a plant and have been detected in all tested plants. They belong to the group of fungi or bacteria and their ecological function is mostly unknown.

Metabolic potential of epichloë endophytes for host grass fungal disease resistance [PDF]

, 2022
Asexual species of the genus Epichloë (Clavicipitaceae, Ascomycota) form endosymbiotic associations with Pooidae grasses. This association is important both ecologically and to the pasture and turf industries, as the endophytic fungi confer a multitude ...

Genetic Diversity of Epichloë Endophytes Associated with Brachypodium and Calamagrostis Host Grass Genera including Two New Species

Journal of Fungi, 2022
Fungi of genus Epichloë (Ascomycota, Clavicipitaceae) are common endophytic symbionts of Poaceae, including wild and agronomically important cool-season grass species (subfam. Poöideae).

Deciphering Role of Endophytes in Plant Defences and Biotic Stress Resilience Across Families

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant families generate distinct repertoires of specialised metabolites that govern their biotic interactions. Endophytes strengthen host plant defence mechanisms and tolerance to biotic challenges by upregulating metabolite biosynthesis, modifying precursor compounds into more potent forms, or by directly synthesising analogous defence ...

Near‐infrared spectroscopy allows detection and species identification of Epichloë endophytes in Lolium perenne [PDF]

, 2018
24 páginas, 3 tablas, 3 figurasPerennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) is systemically infected by seedtransmitted fungal endophytes (Epichloë sp.). The presence of Epichloë endophytes alters the nutritive quality of its hosts by means of modifications of ...

Water Deficit Does Not Compromise the Resistance to Insect Herbivores in Plants Associated With Fungal Endophytes Able to Produce Bioactive Alkaloids

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plants growing in nature are exposed to multiple abiotic and biotic stressors that sometimes occur sequentially. We hypothesised that drought will not compromise the resistance levels to herbivores when plants are associated with Epichloë endophytes able to produce bioactive alkaloids. Lolium perenne plants without (nil) and with Epichloë LpTG‐

Does the Degree of Mutualism between Epichloë Fungi and Botanophila Flies Depend upon the Reproductive Mode of the Fungi?

Journal of Fungi, 2022
Epichloë (Ascomycota: Clavicipitaceae) fungi can form an intriguing interaction with Botanophila flies. The fungi live within above-ground shoots of grasses.

Higher Temperature and Host Age Alter Infection Outcomes in a Multi‐Pathogen System

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Warming, host age, and pathogen identity shaped disease outcomes more strongly than co‐infection in a factorial experiment with two fungal pathogens on tall fescue. Higher temperatures generally reduced disease severity, while host age modified responses‐older plants were more resistant in some contexts, but this depended on temperature and pathogen ...

Homothallic or Heterothallic? A Genomic Investigation Into the Sexual Capabilities of the Ascomycete Fungus Clonostachys rosea

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 14, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Modes of reproduction and sexual strategies strongly influence the genetic diversity and evolutionary potential of a species. The ascomycete fungus Clonostachys rosea is reported to be homothallic (sexually self‐fertile), although a rapid decay of genome‐wide linkage disequilibrium is also reported, something that is not in line with an ...
