Transcriptome of Endophyte-Positive and Endophyte-Free Tall Fescue Under Field Stresses

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Tall fescue is one of the primary sources of forage for livestock. It grows well in the marginal soils of the temperate zones. It hosts a fungal endophyte (Epichloë coenophiala), which helps the plants to tolerate abiotic and biotic stresses. The genomic

Ether Bridge Formation in Loline Alkaloid Biosynthesis [PDF]

, 2014
Lolines are potent insecticidal agents produced by endophytic fungi of cool-season grasses. These alkaloids are composed of a pyrrolizidine ring system and an uncommon ether bridge linking carbons 2 and 7.

Variability of Ergovaline and Total Ergot Alkaloid Expression among Endophytic Tall Fescue Cultivars

Crop Science, Volume 59, Issue 6, Page 2866-2875, November-December 2019., 2019
ABSTRACT Tall fescue (Lolium arundinaceum [Schreb.] Darbysh.) is one of the most widely grown grasses in the United States. Most plants are infected with an endophyte, Epichloë coenophiala Bacon and Schardl. This endophyte produces high concentrations of ergot alkaloids, which cause fescue toxicosis in livestock. The economic losses to the US livestock

Fungal endometritis associated with embryonic loss in a maiden mare

Equine Veterinary Education, Volume 37, Issue 9, Page e174-e178, September 2025.
Summary Fungal endometritis and placentitis have been reported as a rare but important cause of infertility in the mare. There are no reported clinical cases of fungal endometritis causing embryonic loss in the mare. This case report aims to highlight the potential of fungal endometritis as an aetiological agent in embryonic loss in the mare; an ...

Mycorrhizal fungi compromise production of endophytic alkaloids, increasing plant susceptibility to an aphid herbivore

Journal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 6, Page 1368-1381, June 2025.
These findings indicate that symbiotic fungal partnerships and silicon provision may benefit plants but could weaken anti‐herbivore defences when combined. Revealing the complex interactions among diverse fungal symbionts and showcasing their effects on different anti‐herbivore defences (chemical and physical) and herbivore performance for the first ...

Tall Fescue and Endophyte Genetics Influence Vertical Transmission and Seed Characteristics Under Climate Change Scenarios

Phytobiomes Journal
Cool season grasses, including tall fescue, are dominant plants within managed grassland systems. A symbiotic relationship between tall fescue (Lolium arundinaceum) and the fungal endophyte Epichloë coenophiala can affect grassland response to ...

Drought tolerance of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) and the role of Epichloë endophyte : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Plant Science at Massey University, Manawatu, New Zealand [PDF]

, 2016
Perennial ryegrass is the most important grass species in New Zealand. Due to climate change, drought will become more severe and frequent in New Zealand, which makes it increasingly important to improve drought tolerance of perennial ryegrass. There are

Epichlöe festucae endophyte mediated maternal inheritance of dollar spot disease resistance in hard fescue

Crop Science, Volume 65, Issue 2, March/April 2025.
Abstract Hard fescue (Festuca brevipila) is a fine‐leaved cool‐season turfgrass and is well adapted for low‐maintenance areas, such as home lawns, parks, and roadsides. Breeding for improved disease resistance is a major objective in utilizing hard fescue under low‐input management.
