The influence of timing and planting proportion on the intraspecific competitiveness ability of drunken horse grass (Achnatherum inebrians (Hance) Keng) by fungal endophyte infection

Plant, Soil and Environment
Drunken horse grass (Achnatherum inebrians (Hance) Keng) is a toxic perennial bunchgrass native to Northwestern China. Epichloë endophytic fungi infection could enhance the stress tolerance of drunken horse grass.

The Vulnerability of New Zealand Forage Plants to Incursions by New Pests, Pathogens and Weeds, and the Case for Greater Protection

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 1, February 2026.
We outline the diversity of pests, weeds and plant pathogens absent from New Zealand that threaten forage production, examine their potential import pathways, and outline the challenges of managing them should they arrive. The number and diversity of threats and pathways indicates ongoing incursions are inevitable.

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.

Effects of Epichloë festucae var. lolii on heavy metal stress tolerance of its perennial ryegrass host

Grassland Research
Background The endophyte Epichloë festucae var. lolii forms mutualistic symbiosis with perennial ryegrass, and their relationship under heavy metal stress needs to be more clearly defined. Methods This study assessed the growth and physiological response

Contrasting drought responses in two grassland plant–microbe systems under climate change

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 2, February 2026.
By contrasting two plant strategies across a soil‐moisture gradient under warming and elevated CO2, this study shows how drought and climate jointly shape plant performance and associated microbiomes. The stress‐tolerant Festuca rubra responds through trait plasticity and flexible bacterial communities, whereas the competitive Lolium perenne relies ...

Complete Genome Sequence of Paenibacillus sp. Strain E222, a Bacterial Symbiont of an Epichloë Fungal Endophyte of Ryegrass. [PDF]

, 2020
We report on the whole-genome sequence of Paenibacillus sp. strain E222, a bacterium isolated from a fresh culture of Epichloë festucae var. lolii, a mutualistic fungal endophyte of perennial ryegrass. The genome has a size of 7.8 Mb and a G+C content of

Effects on Powdery Mildew and the Mutualistic Fungal Endophyte Epichloë gansuensis When Host Achnatherum inebrians Plants Are Sprayed with Different Fungicides

Agriculture
A study was conducted to examine the effects of the spray application of nine antifungal products, including microbial-derived fungicides, plant-derived fungicides, and chemical fungicides, on the grass Achnatherum inebrians that was either host to ...

Organic intercropping legacy reduces Fusarium pathogens and root rot in subsequent durum wheat

Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Abstract Intercropping is a sustainable practice becoming increasingly popular in the Canadian Prairies. However, its long‐term impact on diseases in subsequent sole crops is not well understood. We examined root rot and associated fungal communities in durum wheat [Triticum turgidum L. ssp.

Endophyte-grass technology: obstacles in the production and delivery of a quality seed product

, 2019
The viability of fungal endophyte (Epichloë species) within seed generally declines faster than seed viability. This can result in forage grass populations harbouring a reduced endophyte infection frequency that is less than anticipated. As the inclusion

Scientific Evidence and Common Perceptions of Factors Affecting Sugar Content in Pasture Grass: Is There a Link With Pre‐existing Horse‐Related Experience?

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Several equine conditions are associated with and exacerbated by increased high‐sugar grass intake. Knowing how climatic and biotic factors affect sugar content in grasses is important for decision‐making by those involved in the management of equines.
