Abscisic Acid May Play a Critical Role in the Moderating Effect of Epichloë Endophyte on Achnatherum inebrians under Drought Stress

Journal of Fungi, 2022
Water scarcity is a major constraint that adversely affects plant development and growth. Abscisic acid (ABA) is a plant stress hormone that is rapidly synthesized and can induce stomatal closure to conserve water, thereby alleviating the drought stress ...

H3K27me3‐Mediated Epigenetic Silencing of FgHMG1 Enables Fungal Host Immune Evasion

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 5, Page 2843-2857, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Histone H3 lysine 27 trimethylation (H3K27me3) is essential for fungal pathogenicity, yet its contribution to pathogen–host interactions remains incompletely understood. Here, we profiled H3K27me3 dynamics in Fusarium graminearum during infection and identified 132 H3K27me3‐marked genes (FgHMGs).

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.

Assessing the Application of a Genomic Network Analysis in Population Ecology: Inferring Patterns of Dispersal and Geographic Structure in the Emerging Pathogen, Coccidioides

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Machine learning has improved upon traditional methods of identifying population structure and is more efficient at handling large, complex datasets. We demonstrate the applicability of a machine learning method to identify hierarchical population structure in an emerging pathogen, Coccidioides spp., the causative agent of Valley fever.

Influence of Epichloë on the Microbiota of Established Lolium perenne Pastures in Aotearoa, New Zealand

Phytobiomes Journal
Perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) is a critical species supporting New Zealand's intensive pasture-based agricultural industries. Perennial ryegrass forms a symbiotic, mutualistic association with asexual Epichloë, an endophytic fungus known to ...

Limitations of Common Molecular Markers in Fungal Biodiversity Analysis and the Benefits of Their Synergistic Use

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 3, April 2026.
ABSTRACT High‐throughput sequencing of the Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) regions is the primary method for estimating fungal diversity from environmental DNA. However, reliance solely on ITS markers is complicated by its high variability in sequence length and the presence of multiple variants within a single genome, which can bias diversity ...

Epichloë-endofyytin vaikutus ruokonadan (Festuca arundinacea) leviämiseen [PDF]

, 2022
Monet abioottiset ja bioottiset tekijät voivat rajoittaa kasvien leviämisen avulla saavutettua maantieteellistä esiintymisaluetta eli levinneisyyttä. Endofyytit elävät symbiontteina tiiviissä vuorovaikutussuhteessa kasvilajien kanssa ja ovat bioottisia ...

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.

Selection for persistence of endophyte‐free meadow fescue under intensive grazing versus frequent mowing

Grassland Research, Volume 5, Issue 1, Page 3-11, March 2026.
Cattle grazing meadow fescue pasture in remnant oak savanna near Fennimore, Wisconsin. Abstract Background Meadow fescue (Schedonorus pratensis (Huds.) P.Beauv.) is highly adapted to managed rotational grazing systems with sufficient rest periods to promote regrowth and sward longevity. It is not well adapted to intensive grazing with set stocking that

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.
