Asexual Epichloë fungi: Obligate mutualists
Asexual Epichloë are obligate fungal mutualists that form symbiosis with many temperate grass species, providing several advantages to the host. These advantages include protection against vertebrate and invertebrate herbivores (i.e., grazing livestock ...

Influence of Epichloë coenophiala, a seed-borne endophyte, on the micropropagation of tall fescue
Improving micropropagation success rate is important since this technique allows the development of other biotechnological tools, such as genetic transformation, in vitro polyploidization, or endophyte inoculation.

Phosphorus fertiliser is associated with reduced grass grub (Costelytra giveni) fitness in Epichloë endophyte-infected meadow fescue and perennial ryegrass [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Fertiliser applications are well-established tools in pasture-based agricultural landscapes. This study focuses on the impact of phosphorus (P) fertiliser on grass grub (Costelytra giveni), a major pasture pest. This research investigates the
