Chemical modulation of the metabolism of an endophytic fungal strain of Cophinforma mamane using epigenetic modifiers and amino-acids
(Elsevier, 2022)
Endophytic fungi are capable of producing a great diversity of bioactive metabolites. However, the presence of silent and lowly expressed genes represents a main challenge for the discovery of novel secondary metabolites ...
Epichloë Fungal Endophytes and Plant Defenses: Not Just Alkaloids
(Elsevier Science London, 2017-11)
Although the role of fungal alkaloids in protecting grasses associated with Epichloë fungal endophytes has been extensively documented, the effects of the symbiont on the host plant's immune responses have received little ...
The plant hormone salicylic acid interacts with the mechanism of anti‐herbivory conferred by fungal endophytes in grasses
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2018-02)
The plant hormone salicylic acid (SA) is recognized as an effective defence against biotrophic pathogens, but its role as regulator of beneficial plant symbionts has received little attention. We studied the relationship ...
Ecotype-specific effects of fungal endophytes on germination responses of seeds of the South American wild forage grass Bromus auleticus
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2021-09-26)
Bromus auleticus is a winter wild species with promissory characteristics for domestication as forage that inhabits temperate-warm grasslands from a wide region from South America. Populations from regions with different ...
Fungal endophytes in species of paspalum and bromus, occurrence and in vitro antagonistic activity assessment
(Research and Reviews, 2017-09)
The aims of this work were to study the occurrence of fungiassociated to Paspalum dilatatum, P. notatum, Bromus biebersteiniiand B. catharticus and to evaluate their potential as antagonisticagents against fungal pathogens. ...
Influence of Epichloë coenophiala, a seed-borne endophyte, on the micropropagation of tall fescue
(Springer Heidelberg, 2020-11-09)
Improving micropropagation success rate is important since this technique allows the development of other biotechnological tools, such as genetic transformation, in vitro polyploidization, or endophyte inoculation. This ...
Ontogenetic and trans-generational dynamics of a vertically transmitted fungal symbiont in an annual host plant in ozone-polluted settings
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2020-10)
Tropospheric ozone is an abiotic stress of increasing importance in the context of global climate change. This greenhouse gas is a potent phytotoxic molecule with demonstrated negative effects on crop yield and natural ...
Metabolism or behavior: explaining the performance of aphids on alkaloid-producing fungal endophytes in annual ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum)
(Springer, 2017-10)
Plant–herbivore interactions are often mediated by plant microorganisms, and the “defensive mutualism” of epichloid fungal endophytes of grasses is an example. These endophytes synthesize bioactive alkaloids that generally ...
Plant functional traits and phylogenetic relatedness explain variation in associations with root fungal endophytes in an extreme arid environment
(Springer, 2014-07-06)
Since root endophytes may ameliorate drought stress, understanding which plants associate with endophytes is important, especially in arid ecosystems. Here, the root endophytes were characterized of 42 plants from an arid ...
Z-3-Hexenylacetate emissions induced by the endophyte Epichloë occultans at different levels of defoliation during the host plant's life cycle
(Elsevier, 2021-02)
Vertically transmitted fungal endophytes are common defensive symbionts of cool-season grasses. Protection against herbivores has been generally associated with alkaloids produced in the grass-endophyte symbiosis. However, ...
