Epichloë is a genus of filamentous fungal endophytes that has co-evolved with cool-season
grasses with which they form long-term, symbiotic associations. The most agriculturally …

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 …

This new edition of Fungi in Ecosystem Processes continues the unique approach of
examining the roles of fungi from the perspective of ecosystem functions. It explores how …

Although insect herbivores and fungal pathogens frequently share the same individual host
plant, we lack general insights in how fungal infection affects insect preference and …

Entomopathogenic fungi are now known to have an endophytic capacity that induces a wide
range of changes in the composition of plant nutrients and/or defensive compounds. These …

Evolutionary adaptations in interactions between plants, microbes and arthropods are
generally studied in interactions that involve only two of these groups, that is, plants and …

Epichloë species with their asexual states are specialized fungi associated with cool-season
grasses. They grow endophytically in tissues of aerial parts of host plants to form systemic …

The interaction between plants and microorganisms plays a major role in plant growth
promotion and disease management. While most microorganisms directly influence plant …

Fungal infection of plants alters plant metabolism and therefore their chemistry, by either
increasing levels of defence compounds or decreasing levels of nutrients. Such alterations …

A new Epichloë species distributed in Africa, Europe, North America and South America on
host genera Bromus, Festuca, Lolium and Poa is described. Stromata, characteristic of the …
