Chemical contaminants in the environment have become a growing concern due to their
detrimental effects on the ecology and evolution of organisms. Understanding the impacts of …

There is an increasing interest in determining the influence of global change on plant–
microorganism interactions. We review the results of experiments that evaluated the effects …

Endophytic symbioses between plants and fungi are a dominant feature of many terrestrial
ecosystems, yet little is known about the signaling that defines these symbiotic associations …

Few studies have evaluated the effects of bacteria that form associations with fungi on plant-
microbial symbioses. We investigated the effects of a novel symbiotic bacterium (E226) of …

Context There is concern that the introduction of 'novel'plant germplasm/traits could outpace
our capacity to measure and so assess their impacts on soil microbial communities and …

A trade‐off between growth and defence against biotic stresses is common in plants. Fungal
endophytes of the genus Epichloë may relieve this trade‐off in their host grasses since they …

Abstract Background and Aims In the subfamily Poöideae (Poaceae), certain grass species
possess anti-herbivore alkaloids synthesized by fungal endophytes that belong to the genus …

Endophytes generally increase antioxidant contents of plants subjected to environmental
stresses. However, the mechanisms by which endophytes alter the accumulation of …

Plants employ various strategies to mitigate the impact of herbivory and one such strategy
involves the associations with fungal endophytes. Some cool‐season forage grasses benefit …

Abstract Tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) is a perennial C3 grass species usually
associated with the endophyte fungus Epichloë coenophiala that enhances tolerance to …
