Fungal endophytes and bioprospecting
Fungal Biology Reviews, 2009Horizontally transmitted fungal endophytes are an ecological group of fungi, mostly belonging to the Ascomycota, that reside in the aerial tissues and roots of plants without inducing any visual symptoms of their presence. These fungi appear to have a capacity to produce an array of secondary metabolites exhibiting a variety of biological activity ...

Insect pathology and fungal endophytes
Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 2008Fungi that occur inside asymptomatic plant tissues are known as fungal endophytes. Different genera of fungal entomopathogens have been reported as naturally occurring fungal endophytes, and it has been shown that it is possible to inoculate plants with fungal entomopathogens, making them endophytic.

Annual Review of Ecology and Systematics, 1990
Mutualistic interactions between species are receiving increased attention from ecologists, although research lags far behind analogous work on competition or predator-prey interactions. Most research has focused on rather showy mutualisms such as pollination or fruit dispersal and has suggested that mutualisms are more important in tropical ...

Fungal endophytes: modifiers of plant disease
Plant Molecular Biology, 2015Many recent studies have demonstrated that non-pathogenic fungi within plant microbiomes, i.e., endophytes ("endo" = within, "phyte" = plant), can significantly modify the expression of host plant disease. The rapid pace of advancement in endophyte ecology warrants a pause to synthesize our understanding of endophyte disease modification and to discuss

Production of swainsonine by fungal endophytes of locoweed
Mycological Research, 2003Consumption of locoweeds, legumes endemic in arid western USA, has long been associated with locoism, a disease of ruminant animals. To explore the relationship between fungi associated with locoweed and locoweed toxicity, 11 locoweed populations from various sites in New Mexico were assessed for endophytic fungi.

SYMBIOSES OF GRASSES WITH SEEDBORNE FUNGAL ENDOPHYTES
Annual Review of Plant Biology, 2004▪ Abstract Grasses (family Poaceae) and fungi of the family Clavicipitaceae have a long history of symbiosis ranging in a continuum from mutualisms to antagonisms. This continuum is particularly evident among symbioses involving the fungal genus Epichloë (asexual forms = Neotyphodium spp.).

Epichloë Fungal Endophytes for Grassland Ecosystems
2016The Epichloe fungal endophytes that inhabit grasses have potentially large-scale consequences for macro- and micro-organisms and food chains in agriculture. Over 40 years of study on the benefits of symbiotic Epichloe fungal endophytes for host grasses, investigations have focused on the major agricultural species, tall fescue and perennial ryegrass ...

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
