DOI: 10.1080/00275514.2017.1400305
Abstract: ABSTRACT Many symbiotic Epichloë species are seed-transmitted in their grass hosts. For a detailed investigation of Epichloë festucae colonization throughout the life cycle of its host, the authors transformed strain Fl1 with a fungal-active gene… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/00288233.2018.1461658
Abstract: ABSTRACT Epichloë species are biotrophic symbionts of many cool-season grasses that can cause grazing animal toxicosis. We identified fungi from Hordeum brevisubulatum as Epichloë bromicola based on morphological characteristics and tefA and actG gene sequences.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1094/phyto-12-21-0521-r
Abstract: Epichloë endophytes can improve the resistance of host grasses to pathogenic fungi, but the underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown. Here, we used phytohormone quantifications, gene expression analysis and pathogenicity experiments to investigate the effect of… read more here.

A Tale of Two Grass Species: Temperature Affects the Symbiosis of a Mutualistic Epichloë Endophyte in Both Tall Fescue and Perennial Ryegrass
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Frontiers in Plant Science"
DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2020.00530
Abstract: Many cool-season grasses form permanent, mutualistic symbioses with asexual Epichloë endophytes. These fungal symbionts often perform a protective role within the association as many strains produce secondary metabolites that deter certain mammalian and invertebrate herbivores.… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2020.570026
Abstract: Infection of the pasture grass Lolium perenne with the seed-transmitted fungal endophyte Epichloë festucae enhances its resilience to biotic and abiotic stress. Agricultural benefits of endophyte infection can be increased by generating novel symbiotic associations… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/jof8090928
Abstract: Cool season grasses often form reciprocal symbiotic relationships with endophytic fungal species in genus Epichloë. In this study, we characterized three fungal endophytes isolated from the grass Hordeum bogdanii native to northwest China. Based on… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/jof8101026
Abstract: Tall fescue (Schedonorus arundinaceus) is a cool-season grass which is commonly infected with the fungal endophyte Epichloë coenophiala. Although the relationship between tall fescue and E. coenophiala is well-studied, less is known about its broader… read more here.
