An ecological framework for understanding the roles of Epichloë endophytes on plant defenses against fungal diseases
(Elsevier, 2020-11)
Plants harbor a wide diversity of microorganisms in their tissues. Some of them have a long co-evolutionary history with their hosts, likely playing a pivotal role in regulating the plant interaction with other microbes ...
Dynamics of Neotyphodium endophyte infection in ageing seed pools: Incidence of differential viability loss of endophyte, infected seed and non-infected seed
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2010-03)
Symbiotic associations between grasses and vertically transmitted endophytic fungi are widespread in nature. Within grass populations, changes in the frequency of infected plants are driven by influence of the endophyte ...
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, ...
Seed-transmitted Epichloë sp. endophyte alleviates the negative effects of head smut of grasses (Ustilago bullata) on Bromus auleticus
(Elsevier, 2017-10)
Some grasses are co-infected by ‘castrator’ fungal pathogens, such as Ustilago bullata, and beneficial seed-transmitted Epichloë endophytes that compete for plant photosynthates and flowers. Epichloë-infected (E+) and ...
Testing the roles of vertical transmission and drought stress in the prevalence of heritable fungal endophytes in annual grass populations
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2018-08)
Beneficial inherited symbionts are expected to reach high prevalence in host populations, yet many are observed at intermediate prevalence. Theory predicts that a balance of fitness benefits and efficiency of vertical ...
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 ...
Germination response of endophytic Festuca rubra seeds in the presence of arsenic
(Wiley, 2013-03)
Epichloë fungal endophytes colonize the intercellular space of aerial organs of their plant hosts without causing symptoms. These symbionts are known to improve the performance of their host grasses in some situations of ...
