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 ...

Effects of Seasonal Variation on the Alkaloids of Different Ecotypes of Epichloë Endophyte-Festuca sinensis Associations

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
The Epichloë endophyte-Festuca sinensis association produces alkaloids which can protect the host plant from biotic and abiotic stresses. Alkaloid concentrations depend on the genetic predisposition of grass and endophyte, and are affected by the ...

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

Complete genome sequence of Paenibacillus sp. E222, a bacterial symbiont of an Epichloë fungal endophyte of ryegrass

, 2021
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

Direct and indirect effects of the fungal endophyte Epichloë uncinatum on litter decomposition of the host grass, Schedonorus pratensis [PDF]

, 2017
Microbial plant symbionts have been suggested to mediate plant-soil feedback and affect ecosystem functions. Systemic Epichloë fungal endophytes of grasses are found to mediate litter decomposition. These effects are often linked to alkaloids produced by

The Epichloë festucae antifungal protein has activity against the plant pathogen Sclerotinia homoeocarpa, the causal agent of dollar spot disease

Scientific Reports, 2017
Epichloë spp. are naturally occurring fungal endophytic symbionts of many cool-season grasses. Infection by the fungal endophytes often confers biotic and abiotic stress tolerance to their hosts.

An Epichloë endophyte affects the competitive ability of Festuca rubra against other grassland species [PDF]

, 2013
Background and aims: Festuca rubra plants are asymptomatically infected by the systemic fungal endophyte Epichloë festucae and high infection rates have been found in natural grasslands. Our objective was to determine the effect of endophyte infection on

Foliar Epichloë gansuensis Endophyte and Root-Originated Bacillus subtilis LZU7 Increases Biomass Accumulation and Synergistically Improve Nitrogen Fixation in Achnatherum inebrians

Journal of Fungi
Although drunken horse grass (Achnatherum inebrians) can be simultaneously infected by the foliar endophyte Epichloë gansuensis and colonized by Bacillus subtilis, it remains unclear whether Epichloë endophyte symbiosis influences B.
