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 ...
Endophytic fungi: a tool for plant growth promotion and sustainable agriculture
(2022-01-01)
Endophytic fungi are found in most, if not all, plant species on the planet. They colonise inner plant tissues without causing symptoms of disease, thus providing benefits to the host plant while also benefiting from this ...
Fungal endophyte mediated occurrence of seminiferous and pseudoviviparous panicles in Festuca rubra
(Springer, 2014-04)
Fungal endophytes are suggested to manipulate host grass reproduction. Using different grass-endophyte combinations in a four year common garden experiment, we show that endophyte can retain control over the reproductive ...
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 ...
Mutualism effectiveness of a fungal endophyte in an annual grass is impaired by ozone
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2016-02)
Ozone is an increasing tropospheric contaminant of climate change. Exposure to ozone may affect the symbiotic relationship between plants and beneficial microorganisms. In particular, the herbivore resistance mechanism ...
Fungal Endophyte Communities in Begonia Species from the Brazilian Atlantic Rainforest
(2018-04-01)
Tropical plants represent hotspots of endophytic fungal species diversity. Based on culture-dependent methods, we evaluated the endophytic fungal communities in leaves of three plant species found in the Brazilian Atlantic ...
Symbiotically modified organisms: Nontoxic fungal endophytes in grasses
(Elsevier Science London, 2013-04)
We propose that symbiotically modified organisms (SMOs) should be taken into account in sustainable agriculture. In this opinion article, we present the results of a meta-analysis of the literature, with a particular focus ...
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 ...
