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 ...
The foliar fungal endophytes of Citrus limon in Argentina
(Canadian Jounal of Botany, 2005-12)
Fungal endophytes associated with Citrus limon (L.) Burm., were investigated. Culture of surface-sterilized leaves from two orchards of lemon trees in Tucumán, located in northwestern Argentina, revealed the presence of ...
