Can the defensive mutualism between grasses and fungal endophytes protect non-symbiotic neighbours from soil pathogens?
(Springer, 2016-08)
Background and aims: It is proposed that Epichloë endophytes have a role protecting host grasses against pathogens. However, it is unclear whether this protection is extended to other non-symbiotic plants. Here we explored ...
Endophytic colonisation of tobacco, corn, wheat, and soybeans by the fungal entomopathogen Beauveria bassiana (Ascomycota, Hypocreales)
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2015-04)
We demonstrate the effectiveness of three inoculation methods (foliar spray, seed immersion and root immersion) in establishing fungal the entomopathogen Beauveria bassiana as an endophyte in tobacco, corn, wheat andcolonisation ...

Non-systemic fungal endophytes in Festuca rubra plants infected by Epichloë festucae in subarctic habitats
(Springer, 2013-06)
Epichloë festucae is an endophytic fungus that infects systemically the aerial tissues of the host grass Festuca rubra. This fungus is transmitted vertically from the mother plant to seeds. Hypothetically, the presence of ...
Occurrence of Epichloë fungal endophytes in the sheep-preferred grass Hordeum comosum from Patagonia
(Elsevier, 2015-01)
Grazing by exotic herbivores on native vegetation in Patagonian steppes has led to the deterioration of forage resources, where grasses are replaced by shrubs and preferred grasses by non-preferred ones. In this region, ...
Cytotoxic prenylated indole alkaloid produced by the endophytic fungus Aspergillus terreus P63
(Elsevier B.V., 2019-08-01)
Prenyl indole alkaloids constitute a diverse class of natural products with complex chemical structures and potent biological activities. Investigation of the growth medium EtOAc extract produced by the endophytic fungus ...
Antioxidants in Festuca rubra L. seeds affected by the fungal symbiont Epichloë festucae
(Springer, 2012-12)
Vertically transmitted fungal endophytes can be beneficial for host grasses. While the alkaloid-mediated mechanism for herbivore resistance has been widely studied, underlying physiological mechanisms for increased tolerance ...
Chemical ecology mediated by fungal endophytes in grasses
(Springer, 2013-08)
Defensive mutualism is widely accepted as providing the best framework for understanding how seed-transmitted, alkaloid producing fungal endophytes of grasses are maintained in many host populations. Here, we first briefly ...
Relationships between fungal endophytes and wood-rot fungi in wood of Platanus acerifolia in urban environments
(National Research Council Canada-NRC Research Press, 2015-04)
Urban forests, which are highly valuable for the urban environment, include trees from city streets that might be susceptible to wood-decay fungi. Fungal endophytes can colonize healthy plant tissues without causing external ...
