Epichloë endophytes: fungal symbionts of grasses
Current Opinion in Microbiology, 2001Recent developments have increased our understanding of the evolution of mutualistic associations between Epichloë endophytes and their grass hosts. Most of the asexual species appear to be interspecific hybrids. Although endophytes form compatible associations with their natural hosts, transfers to other hosts elicit a range of incompatible reactions.

Fungal endophytes of forage grasses
Proceedings / Indian Academy of Sciences, 1985Forage grasses (e.g., Lolium spp. andFestuca spp.) have long been known to harbour fungi which maintain an intercellular relationship with leaf tissue of the host. These endophytic fungi are considered to be the source of toxins which accumulate in infected grasses and are the cause of physiological disorders in grazing sheep and cattle.

Entomopathogenic and Nematophagous Fungal Endophytes
2013Biological control agents have received a considerable amount of attention as alternatives to chemicals for the development of new control methods but also due to the disparate ecological niches occupied by them. Entomopathogenic (EF) and nematophagous fungi (NF) enter their hosts directly via the cuticle or natural openings, what makes them attractive

Forest structure and fungal endophytes
Fungal Biology Reviews, 2007Abstract Sufficient biodiversity is required for ecosystem functions. The question is how we can assess required biodiversity if we are able to recognize only a fraction of diversity, and/or unable to place a known species into a trophic level or into their niche dimensions.

Fungal Endophytes of Tree Leaves
1991The term epiphyte is used in general to characterize organisms that subsist only on plant surfaces. De Bar’s (1866) definition of endophytes—all the organisms that colonize internal plant tissues—was also used by Petrini (1986). In the same volume, Carroll (1986) restricted the use of the term endophyte to organisms that cause asymptomatic infections ...

Fungal Endophytes in Submerged Roots
2007It has long been known that plants harbour fungal endophytes, and it was suspected that systemic grass endophytes, primarily clavicipitaceous fungi, are associatedwith toxicity to grazing livestock (Saikkonenet al. 1998). This connectionwas firmly established in the 1970s (Bacon et al. 1977).
