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 ...
Effects of systemic fungal endophytes on the performance of meadow fescue and tall fescue in mixtures with red clover
(Wiley, 2015-09)
A symbiosis between grasses and systemic fungal endophytes exists in both natural and agricultural grassland communities. Our objective was to examine the effects of systemic endophytes on the competitive ability of two ...
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 ...
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 mediation of reactive oxygen species and antioxidant activity in plants: a review
(Springer, 2012-05)
Reactive oxygen species are in all types of organisms from microbes to higher plants and animals. They are by-products of normal metabolism, such as photosynthesis and respiration, and are responsive to abiotic and biotic ...
Geographic variation in festuca rubra L. ploidy levels and systemic fungal endophyte frequencies
(Public Library of Science, 2016-11)
Polyploidy and symbiotic Epichloë fungal endophytes are common and heritable characteristics that can facilitate environmental range expansion in grasses. Here we examined geographic patterns of polyploidy and the frequency ...
Epichloë Fungal Endophytes and Plant Defenses: Not Just Alkaloids
(Elsevier Science London, 2017-11)
Although the role of fungal alkaloids in protecting grasses associated with Epichloë fungal endophytes has been extensively documented, the effects of the symbiont on the host plant's immune responses have received little ...
Non-systemic fungal endophytes in Festuca rubra plants infected by Epichloë festucae in subarctic habitats
(Springer, 2013-06)
Epichloë festucae is an endophytic fungus that infects systemically the aerial tissues of the host grass Festuca rubra. This fungus is transmitted vertically from the mother plant to seeds. Hypothetically, the presence of ...
