Effects of Endophyte Infection in Tall Fescue (Festuca Arundinacea: Poaceae) on Community Diversity [PDF]
, 2001 Recent studies have suggested that the presence of endophytes in tall fescue can lead to decreased species richness in the associated plant community. To assess the generality of this hypothesis, a field study tested the effects of endophyte infection on

Ergovaline in populations of endophyte infected Festuca rubra subsp. pruinosa
, 2006 Festuca rubra subsp. pruinosa is a grass whose preferred habitat are coastal cliffs, a harsh environment where plants grow in cavities and are exposed to salt water spray. This grass species is systemically infected by the fungal endophyte Epichloë festucae and the interaction is asymptomatic.

Grassland Research, Volume 4, Issue 4, Page 332-340, December 2025.The growth performance and physiology variations of perennial ryegrass with (E+) and without endophyte (E−) were evaluated after they were subjected to ZnCl2 and CdCl2 treatments. Abstract Background The endophyte Epichloë festucae var. lolii forms mutualistic symbiosis with perennial ryegrass, and their relationship under heavy metal stress needs to ...

Evaluating pasture forage plant breeding achievements: a review
New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 68, Issue 6, Page 1146-1220, December 2025.ABSTRACT Forage plant breeding aims to deliver cultivars that increase on‐farm productivity through improved seasonal and annual yield, persistence of yield in perennials, and nutritive and feeding value. Breeding is generally undertaken in highly controlled field trials with individual plants or rows.

Variation in the expression of ergot alkaloids between individual tillers of perennial ryegrass
Frontiers in Chemistry, 2014 Epichloë fungal endophytes of cool season grasses are well known to produce a range of alkaloids of benefit to the host. Some of these compounds are advantageous to agriculture due to qualities that promote pasture persistence (e.g.

Epigenetic regulation of Epichloë festucae secondary metabolite biosynthesis and symbiotic interaction with Lolium perenne : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Genetics at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]
, 2017 Histone methylation is one of several epigenetic layers for transcriptional regulation. Most studies on the importance of this histone modification in regulating fungal secondary metabolite gene expression and pathogenicity have focussed on the role of
