Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi can shift plant-soil feedback of grass-endophyte symbiosis from negative to positive
(Springer, 2017-12)
Aims: Plants affect each other by modifying soils conditions in plant-soil feedbacks, where associated microbes have an integral role. Since epichloid endophytes and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are highly widespread ...
Symbiotic interactions as drivers of trade-offs in plants: effects of fungal endophytes on tall fescue
(Springer, 2013-03-24)
Studying the controls on biomass allocation trade-offs in plants are important since they affect harvestable product yields and are critical to understanding symbiotic interactions. Epichloae fungal endophytes associate ...
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 ...
Epichloë endophytes of a wild grass promote mycorrhizal colonization of neighbor grasses
(Elsevier, 2020-04-08)
A field experiment was performed to study the effect of Epichloë endophytes of the wild forage grass Bromus auleticus on mycorrhizal colonization, seedling emergence and growth parameters in three heterospecific grasses ...
Three symbionts involved in interspecific plant-soil feedback: epichloid endophytes and mycorrhizal fungi affect the performance of rhizobia-legume symbiosis
(Springer, 2016-09)
Aims: Plants interact by modifying soil conditions in plant-soil feedback processes. Foliar endophytes of grasses exert multiple effects on host rhizosphere with potential consequences on plant-soil feedback. Here, we ...
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 ...
Family issues: fungal endophyte protects host grass from the closely related pathogen Claviceps purpurea
(Elsevier, 2013-11)
Certain cool season grasses establish systemic and asymptomatic symbioses with clavicipitaceous fungi of the genus Neotyphodium, which affect multiple biotic interactions within host neighborhood. The presumed symbiont-mediated ...
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 ...
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) ...
Multi-symbiotic systems: functional implications of the coexistence of grass-endophyte and legume-rhizobia symbioses
(Wiley, 2014-10)
The coexistence of symbionts with different functional roles in co-occurring plants is highly probable in terrestrial ecosystems. Analyses of how plants and microbes interact above- and belowground in multi-symbiotic systems ...
