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 ...
What happens next? Legacy effects induced by grazing and grass-endophyte symbiosis on thistle plants and their floral visitors
(Springer, 2016-08)
Background and aims: Complex webs of multiple interactions determine the final aboveground and belowground community structure. While the mechanisms are difficult to determine, soil conditioning may modify other plants ...
Epichloë occultans enhances micropropagation efficiency in Lolium multiflorum
(Springer, 2017-03-22)
Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum) is an annual grass considered as one of the most important temperate forage grasses in the world. However, it is recalcitrant to plant tissue culture techniques hindering its genetic ...
The enhancement of invasion ability of an annual grass by its fungal endophyte depends on recipient community structure
(Springer, 2016-07)
Most terrestrial plants establish symbiotic associations with microorganisms that enable them to overcome abiotic or biotic filters in ecosystems. Here we investigated how aerial mutualisms involving invasive species may ...
Symbiosis with systemic fungal endophytes promotes host escape from vector-borne disease
(Springer, 2017-03)
Plants interact with a myriad of microorganisms that modulate their interactions within the community. A well-described example is the symbiosis between grasses and Epichloë fungal endophytes that protects host plants from ...
Getting ready for the ozone battle: Vertically transmitted fungal endophytes have transgenerational positive effects in plants
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2021-03)
Ground-level ozone is a global air pollutant with high toxicity and represents a threat to plants and microorganisms. Although beneficial microorganisms can improve host performance, their role in connecting environmentally ...
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-borne fungal endophytes constrain reproductive success of host plants under ozone pollution
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2021-11)
Tropospheric ozone is among the global change factors that pose a threat to plants and microorganisms. Symbiotic microorganisms can assist plants to cope with stress, but their role in the tolerance of plants to ozone is ...
Can the defensive mutualism between grasses and fungal endophytes protect non-symbiotic neighbours from soil pathogens?
(Springer, 2016-08)
Background and aims: It is proposed that Epichloë endophytes have a role protecting host grasses against pathogens. However, it is unclear whether this protection is extended to other non-symbiotic plants. Here we explored ...
