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 ...
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 ...
Effect of epichloid endophytes and soil fertilization on arbuscular mycorrhizal colonization of a wild grass
(2016-08)
Background and aims: Plants often establish multiple simultaneous symbiotic associations with different micro-organisms; however, the way in which each symbiont affects the other symbionts and the effects of these multiple ...
Environmental effects on grass-endophyte associations in the harsh conditions of south Patagonia
(Oxford University Press, 2007-04-27)
Cool-season grasses are frequently infected by Neotyphodium endophytes and this association is often considered as a mutualistic symbiosis. We examined the incidence of Neotyphodium in populations of Bromus setifolius, ...
Mutualism effectiveness and vertical transmission of symbiotic fungal endophytes in response to host genetic background
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2012-12)
Certain species of the Pooideae subfamily develop stress tolerance and herbivory resistance through symbiosis with vertically transmitted, asexual fungi. This symbiosis is specific, and genetic factors modulate the ...
Inherited fungal symbionts enhance establishment of an invasive annual grass across successional habitats
(Springer, 2011-02)
Plants infected with vertically transmitted fungal endophytes carry their microbial symbionts with them during dispersal into new areas. Yet, whether seed-borne endophytes enhance the host plant's ability to overcome ...
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) ...
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 ...
Endophytic fungi of grasses protect other plants from aphid herbivory
(Elsevier, 2014-03)
Microbial plant symbionts are widely spread in nature changing the way their hosts interact with their environment. Neotyphodium fungal endophytes (Clavicipitaceae) are grass symbionts known by their production of alkaloids, ...
