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

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.

Seed-transmitted Epichloë sp. endophyte alleviates the negative effects of head smut of grasses (Ustilago bullata) on Bromus auleticus [PDF]
Some grasses are co-infected by ‘castrator’ fungal pathogens, such as Ustilago bullata, and beneficial seed-transmitted Epichloë endophytes that compete for plant photosynthates and flowers.

Infection with the fungal endophyte Epichloë festucae may alter the allelopathic potential of red fescue [PDF]
16 páginas, 3 tablas, 2 figurasRed fescue (Festuca rubra) is a perennial grass used as both forage and turfgrass. Asymptomatic plants of this species are systemically infected by the fungal endophyte Epichloë festucae, which has a beneficial effect on ...

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 ...
