The effect of Epichloë endophyte on phyllosphere microbes and leaf metabolites in Achnatherum inebrians [PDF]

iScience, 2022
Summary: Upon exposure to the prevailing environment, leaves become increasingly colonized by fungi and bacteria located on the surface (epiphytic) or within (endophytic) the leaves.

Transcriptomic Analyses Reveals Molecular Regulation of Photosynthesis by Epichloë endophyte in Achnatherum inebrians under Blumeria graminis Infection [PDF]

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

The Plant Salicylic Acid Signalling Pathway Regulates the Infection of a Biotrophic Pathogen in Grasses Associated with an Epichloë Endophyte [PDF]

Journal of Fungi, 2021
The study of the contribution of the plant defence hormones, salicylic acid (SA) and jasmonic acid (JA), in the resistance against pathogens of plants associated with Epichloë fungal endophytes has been scanty. We hypothesised that Epichloë spp., capable

Characterization of Epichloë coenophiala within the U.S.: are all tall fescue endophytes created equal? [PDF]

Frontiers in Chemistry, 2014
Tall fescue (Lolium arundinaceum) is a valuable and broadly adapted forage grass that occupies approximately 14 million hectares across the United States. A native to Europe, tall fescue was likely introduced into the U.S. around the late 1800’s. Much of

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

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 ...

Epichloë—the obligate mutualist protecting some commercially important temperate grasses from biotic and abiotic stresses [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology
The relationship between Epichloë fungal endophytes found in some temperate grasses spans the continuum from antagonistic to mutualistic. The predominant focus here is on those that form mutualistic associations with those temperate grasses of the New ...

Phosphorus induced changes in food quality enhance porina fitness feeding on Epichloë endophyte free forage grasses [PDF]

Scientific Reports
The increasing expenses and environmental repercussions associated with phosphorus (P) fertiliser underscore the necessity for precision-managed application methods. These changes affect pastoral systems, where cool-season grasses like perennial ryegrass

Interactive Effects of Epichloë Endophyte, Dormancy-Breaking Treatments and Geographic Origin on Seed Germination of Achnatherum inebrians [PDF]

Microorganisms, 2021
Background: the cool-season grass Achnatherum inebrians (drunken horse grass) is an important species in the northwest grasslands of China. This grass engages in a symbiotic relationship with Epichloë endophytes, which affect host plants by increasing ...

Analysis of simple sequence repeat (SSR) structure and sequence within Epichloë endophyte genomes reveals impacts on gene structure and insights into ancestral hybridization events. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Epichloë grass endophytes comprise a group of filamentous fungi of both sexual and asexual species. Known for the beneficial characteristics they endow upon their grass hosts, the identification of these endophyte species has been of great interest ...

Achnatherum inebrians Bacterial Communities Associated with Epichloë gansuensis Endophyte Infection Under Low-Concentration Urea Treatment: Links to Plant Growth and Root Metabolite [PDF]

Microorganisms
Despite chemical exchange often serving as the first step in plant–microbe interactions, the specialized chemical metabolites produced by grass–Epichloë endophyte symbiosis as mediators of host growth, nutrient acquisition, and modulators of the ...
