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) ...
A fungal endophyte of a palatable grass affects preference of large herbivores
(2018-04)
Temperate grasses frequently acquire resistance to herbivores through a symbiosis with epichloid fungi that produces alkaloids of variable deterrent effects. However, in those cases without apparent endophyte negative ...
Sipha maydis sensitivity to defences of Lolium multiflorum and its endophytic fungus Epichloë occultans
(PeerJ Inc., 2019-12)
Background. Plants possess a sophisticated immune system to defend from herbivores. These defence responses are regulated by plant hormones including salicylic acid (SA) and jasmonic acid (JA). Sometimes, plant defences ...
Presence of Epichloë Fungus in the Endosperm-Side of the Seed Predicts the Symbiotic Status of the Seedling
(Seed Technology, 2018-06)
Some important forage grasses of the genera Festuca and Lolium establish persistent symbiotic associations with vertically-transmitted fungal endophytes (genus Epichloë). In certain cases, the fungus causes livestock ...
Protection offered by leaf fungal endophytes to an invasive species against native herbivores depends on soil nutrients
(Wiley, 2020-02-04)
1. Natural grassland ecosystems are increasingly threatened by excessive loadings of nutrients and by the presence of species bred for high productivity. By manipulating grazing regimes and nutrient availability, agricultural ...
