Cross-species transcriptomics identifies core regulatory changes differentiating the asymptomatic asexual and virulent sexual life cycles of grass-symbiotic Epichloe fungi

Daniel Berry et al.

Summary: Fungi from the genus Epichloe form endobiotic infections in cool season grasses and produce host-protective natural products. During the sexual cycle, they exhibit virulent growth, enveloping and sterilizing the host inflorescence. RNAseq analysis identified a core set of differentially expressed genes associated with host suppression, digestion, adaptation, and stroma formation.

Differential gene expression in tall fescue tissues in response to water deficit

Manohar Chakrabarti et al.

Summary: Tall fescue, known for its drought resistance, may benefit from its seed-borne fungal symbiont Epichloe coenophiala. Genes in the crown show higher differential expression, potentially aiding in survival of the apical meristems.

Transcriptome analysis of Epichloe strains in tall fescue in response to drought stress

Padmaja Nagabhyru et al.

Summary: The systemic fungal symbiont Epichloe coenophiala responds to water-deficit stress in tall fescue by upregulating genes related to oxidative stress response, heat shock, carbohydrate metabolism, and cellular transport pathways. The magnitude and specificity of the fungal response varied among different plant-endophyte symbiota. This study suggests that Epichloe spp. and their host plants coordinate or separately activate similar stress response mechanisms for mutual protection.

Antagonism to Plant Pathogens by Epichloe Fungal Endophytes-A Review

Stuart D. Card et al.

Summary: Epichloe is a genus of filamentous fungal endophytes that co-evolved with cool-season grasses, providing additional traits to host plants such as pest deterrence and drought tolerance. Some strains have been developed into biocontrol products and are widely utilized in the Americas, Australia, and New Zealand.

Plant growth, ion accumulation, and antioxidant enzymes of endophyte-infected and endophyte-free tall fescue to salinity stress

Lu Pan et al.

Summary: The experiment revealed that the endophyte contributes to improved salinity tolerance in tall fescue by maintaining higher growth and photosynthetic efficiency, reducing Na+ accumulation and lipid peroxidation. The significantly induced antioxidant enzyme activities and lipid peroxidation in endophyte-free plants under high salinity stress may exacerbate oxidative damage.
