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.

Is the endophyte‐based plant protection against aphids mediated by changes in the insect microbiome?

Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 3, Page 1097-1108, June 2026.
We showed that the fungal endophyte Epichloë strain AR37 increased the plant resistance against aphids via the production of indole diterpene alkaloids. The reduction in aphid performance was not associated with changes in abundance/composition/diversity of the insect's bacterial microbiota, but additional endophyte effects on this microbiota cannot be

The role of Epichloë grass endophytes during pasture renewal

, 2021
The literature on the importance of Epichloë grass endophytes during pasture renewal is reviewed. Perennial ryegrass endophyte strains such as AR1, NEA2, and Standard Endophyte (SE) as well as tall fescue and meadow fescue endophytes, significantly ...

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

Selection for persistence of endophyte‐free meadow fescue under intensive grazing versus frequent mowing

Grassland Research, Volume 5, Issue 1, Page 3-11, March 2026.
Cattle grazing meadow fescue pasture in remnant oak savanna near Fennimore, Wisconsin. Abstract Background Meadow fescue (Schedonorus pratensis (Huds.) P.Beauv.) is highly adapted to managed rotational grazing systems with sufficient rest periods to promote regrowth and sward longevity. It is not well adapted to intensive grazing with set stocking that

Reciprocal effects of silicon supply and endophytes on silicon accumulation and Epichloë colonization in grasses.

, 2022
: Cool season grasses associate asymptomatically with foliar Epichloë endophytic fungi in a symbiosis where Epichloë spp. protects the plant from a number of biotic and abiotic stresses.

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 ...

Key soil health indicators under humid grazing lands

Grassland Research, Volume 5, Issue 1, Page 44-55, March 2026.
Soil health can be described using a few key soil health indicators that target a diversity of soil functions. This perspective article highlights how forage management affects these soil health indicators in humid‐zone grazing lands. Abstract Background Soil health describes critical soil functions influenced by land management. Although some key soil

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.
