Seed lipid profiles of perennial ryegrass: Global patterns and differentiation of ryegrass cultivars and Epichloë endophytes

Grassland Research, Volume 5, Issue 3, Page 222-234, September 2026.
Seed lipid profiles from three ryegrass cultivars infected with AR501 show distinct changes in the medium‐chain diacylglycerols, triacylglycerols and sphingolipids. The differential peal LN745.5052_5.78 can be identified as PG 16:0_18:2 with the supporting ms2 fragmentation spectrum. Abstract Background Forage perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) has

The plant salicylic acid signalling pathway regulates the infection of a biotrophic pathogen in grasses associated with an Epichloë endophyte

, 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

Fungal endophyte colonization patterns alter over time in the novel association between Lolium perenne and Epichloë Endophyte AR37

, 2021
Infection of the pasture grass Lolium perenne with the seed-transmitted fungal endophyte Epichloë festucae enhances its resilience to biotic and abiotic stress.

A Metabolomic Study of Epichloë Endophytes for Screening Antifungal Metabolites

Metabolites, 2022
Epichloë endophytes, fungal endosymbionts of Pooidae grasses, are commonly utilized in forage and turf industries because they produce beneficial metabolites that enhance resistance against environmental stressors such as insect feeding and disease ...

Epichloë Endophytes Shape the Foliar Endophytic Fungal Microbiome and Alter the Auxin and Salicylic Acid Phytohormone Levels in Two Meadow Fescue Cultivars

Journal of Fungi, 2023
Plants harbor a large diversity of endophytic microbes. Meadow fescue (Festuca pratensis) is a cool-season grass known for its symbiotic relationship with the systemic and vertically—via seeds—transmitted fungal endophyte Epichloë uncinata, yet its ...

Harnessing exotic germplasm for red clover improvement: Tracking genomic introgression and deploying genomic selection

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) is a globally important temperate forage legume. Its symbiosis with soil‐borne rhizobia enables nitrogen fixation, and its ability to produce quality forage under diverse soil conditions enhances pasture productivity, particularly during water deficits.

Effects of the Epichloë fungal endophyte symbiosis with Schedonorus pratensis on host grass invasiveness

, 2015
We investigated the effect of grass-endophyte symbiosis on host grass invasiveness in Schedonorus pratesis (meadow fescue)-Epichloë uncinatum (se ven forage cultivars) and S. arundinaceus (tall fescue)-E.

Higher Temperature and Host Age Alter Infection Outcomes in a Multi‐Pathogen System

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Warming, host age, and pathogen identity shaped disease outcomes more strongly than co‐infection in a factorial experiment with two fungal pathogens on tall fescue. Higher temperatures generally reduced disease severity, while host age modified responses‐older plants were more resistant in some contexts, but this depended on temperature and pathogen ...

Getting by With a Little Help From Fungal Friends: Seed‐Associated Endophytes Contribute to Seed Defense Against Fungal Pathogens in Keystone Tropical Trees

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
This study explored microbially mediated seed defense in fig (Ficus) species through inoculation experiments. We show that priority effects from endophytic fungi contribute to increased seed survival in the presence of fungal pathogens. ABSTRACT Soil‐borne fungal pathogens are known to be major causes of seed mortality in tropical forests; however, not

Insect oviposition preference between Epichloë‐symbiotic and Epichloë‐free grasses does not necessarily reflect larval performance

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Variation in plant communities is likely to modulate the feeding and oviposition behavior of herbivorous insects, and plant‐associated microbes are largely ignored in this context.
