Inherited fungal symbionts enhance establishment of an invasive annual grass across successional habitats
(Springer, 2011-02)
Plants infected with vertically transmitted fungal endophytes carry their microbial symbionts with them during dispersal into new areas. Yet, whether seed-borne endophytes enhance the host plant's ability to overcome ...
Jasmonic acid regulation of the anti-herbivory mechanism conferred by fungal endophytes in grasses
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2018-11)
The most studied mechanism of protection against herbivores in grasses associated with Epichloë fungal endophytes has been the fungal production of alkaloids. However, the contribution of the plant immune response on the ...
Natural trypanocidal product produced by endophytic fungi through co-culturing
(Springer, 2019-06)
Endophytic fungi live inside vegetal tissues without causing damage to the host plant and may provide lead compounds for drug discovery. The co-culture of two or more endophytic fungi can trigger silent gene clusters, which ...
Associations between fungal root endophytes and grass dominance in arid highlands
(Elsevier, 2020-06)
In arid highland environments harsh conditions for vegetation establishment prevail. Plants in theseenvironments develop different strategies to survive, including associations with fungal root endophytes.These associations ...
Colonzation of Tobacco Plants by Fungal Entomopathogens and the Effect on Consumption over Diabrotica speciosa (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)
(Molecular Diversity Preservation International, 2021-11)
Entomopathogenic fungi are naturally occurring microorganisms that attack insect pests,making them exceptional allies when developing biocontrol strategies. A particular aspect of theecology of these fungi is that they ...
Fungal Endophytes Enhance the Photoprotective Mechanisms and Photochemical Efficiency in the Antarctic Colobanthus quitensis (Kunth) Bartl. Exposed to UV-B Radiation
(Frontiers Media, 2020-05)
Antarctic plants have developed mechanisms to deal with one or more adverse factors which allow them to successfully survive such extreme environment. Certain effective mechanisms to face adverse stress factors can arise ...
Environmental context of endophyte symbioses: Interacting effects of water stress and insect herbivory
(University of Chicago Press, 2011-05)
Symbiotic associations between grasses and fungal endophytes are generally regarded as mutualistic, yet benefits to host plants may vary with environmental context. Previous studies have emphasized how endophytes influence ...
Diversity of foliar endophytes in a dioecious wild grass and their interaction with the systemic Epichloë
(Elsevier Science, 2020-04-28)
This study compares the culturable fungal endophytic community inhabiting leaves of Epichloë-infected (E+) and Epichloë-free (E-) plants of Poa bonariensis. Plants were collected from a wild population (dioecious species) ...
Diversity, Ecology, and Applications of Epichloë Fungal Endophytes of Grasses in South America
(Springer, 2021)
Epichloë fungal endophytes are a conspicuous group of fungi (Ascomycota, Hypocreales, Clavicipitaceae) that form persistent symbiosis with certain cool-season grasses (Poöideae) worldwide. The symbiosis is not vital for ...
