Threshold modelling Lolium multiflorum seed germination: Effects of Neotyphodium endophyte infection and storage environment
(International Seed Testing Association, 2012-09)
Several forage species establish mutualistic associations with vertically-transmitted endophytic fungi that improve their fitness. However, the endophyte may be related to livestock toxicosis and hence ageing seeds has ...
Ecotype-specific effects of fungal endophytes on germination responses of seeds of the South American wild forage grass Bromus auleticus
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2021-09-26)
Bromus auleticus is a winter wild species with promissory characteristics for domestication as forage that inhabits temperate-warm grasslands from a wide region from South America. Populations from regions with different ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Presence of Epichloë Fungus in the Endosperm-Side of the Seed Predicts the Symbiotic Status of the Seedling
(Seed Technology, 2018-06)
Some important forage grasses of the genera Festuca and Lolium establish persistent symbiotic associations with vertically-transmitted fungal endophytes (genus Epichloë). In certain cases, the fungus causes livestock ...
