Co-colonization of an arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus and Epichloë endophyte bolsters anti-herbivore defenses in Lolium perenne

Biological Control
The pea aphid (Acyrthosiphon pisum), a significant insect pest characterized by its piercing-sucking feeding pattern, severely impairs plant growth and productivity, leading to substantial economic losses.

Contrasting drought responses in two grassland plant–microbe systems under climate change

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 2, February 2026.
By contrasting two plant strategies across a soil‐moisture gradient under warming and elevated CO2, this study shows how drought and climate jointly shape plant performance and associated microbiomes. The stress‐tolerant Festuca rubra responds through trait plasticity and flexible bacterial communities, whereas the competitive Lolium perenne relies ...

Comprehensive Analysis of Codon Usage Bias in Seven Epichloë Species and Their Peramine-Coding Genes

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017
Codon usage bias plays an important role in shaping genomes and genes in unicellular species and multicellular species. Here, we first analyzed codon usage bias in seven Epichloë species and their peramine-coding genes.

Organic intercropping legacy reduces Fusarium pathogens and root rot in subsequent durum wheat

Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Abstract Intercropping is a sustainable practice becoming increasingly popular in the Canadian Prairies. However, its long‐term impact on diseases in subsequent sole crops is not well understood. We examined root rot and associated fungal communities in durum wheat [Triticum turgidum L. ssp.

Botanophila flies, vectors of Epichloë fungal spores, are infected by Wolbachia

Mycology, 2019
Epichloë fungi are endophytes within grasses that can form stromata on culms of their hosts. Botanophila flies visit the stromata for egg laying and in the process can vector spermatial spores, thereby cross fertilising the fungus.

Scientific Evidence and Common Perceptions of Factors Affecting Sugar Content in Pasture Grass: Is There a Link With Pre‐existing Horse‐Related Experience?

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Several equine conditions are associated with and exacerbated by increased high‐sugar grass intake. Knowing how climatic and biotic factors affect sugar content in grasses is important for decision‐making by those involved in the management of equines.

Effects of Epichloë festucae var. lolii on heavy metal stress tolerance of its perennial ryegrass host

Grassland Research, Volume 4, Issue 4, Page 332-340, December 2025.
The growth performance and physiology variations of perennial ryegrass with (E+) and without endophyte (E−) were evaluated after they were subjected to ZnCl2 and CdCl2 treatments. Abstract Background The endophyte Epichloë festucae var. lolii forms mutualistic symbiosis with perennial ryegrass, and their relationship under heavy metal stress needs to ...

Effects on Powdery Mildew and the Mutualistic Fungal Endophyte Epichloë gansuensis When Host Achnatherum inebrians Plants Are Sprayed with Different Fungicides

Agriculture
A study was conducted to examine the effects of the spray application of nine antifungal products, including microbial-derived fungicides, plant-derived fungicides, and chemical fungicides, on the grass Achnatherum inebrians that was either host to ...
