Endophyte symbiosis with tall fescue: how strong are the impacts on communities and ecosystems? (2007, neutral): “…been conducted to unravel the evolutionary and genetic history of the tall fescue-endophyte association (Tsai et al. 1994; Craven et al. 2001a, b; Clay & Schardl 2002; Moon et al. 2004), to understand the effect of endophyte infection on the host plant (De Battista et al. 1990; Rice et al. 1990;…”
The endophytic mycobiota of the grass Dactylis glomerata (2007, background): “Some of the best known organisms in this category are the Epichloë/Neotyphodium systemic endophytes, whose grass hosts contain fungal alkaloids toxic to herbivores, and have shown advantages in certain situations of biotic and abiotic stress (Clay and Schardl, 2002; Wang et al., 2005).”
Biodiversity of fungal endophyte communities inhabiting switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) growing in the native tallgrass prairie of northern Oklahoma (2011, background): “A model system involving plant-fungal symbioses involves the fungal endophytes of cool season grasses, renowned for imparting a variety of fitness enhancements to their hosts (Clay and Schardl 2002; Schardl et al. 2004).”
Diversity and host range of foliar fungal endophytes: are tropical leaves biodiversity hotspots? (2007, background): “…associated with over 300 species of grasses indicate that an array of plant phenotypic traits—including drought tolerance, leaf chemistry, tolerance of heavy metals in soils, and propensity for vegetative reproduction—are directly attributable to the presence of endophytes (Clay and Schardl 2002).”
Diversity of fungal endophytes in shrubby medicinal plants of Malnad region, Western Ghats, Southern India (2008, background): “Endophyte host interactions represent a continuum from strong antagonism to obligate mutualism (Saikkonnen et al. 1998; Clay & Schardl 2002).”
Defensive mutualism between plants and endophytic fungi? (2010, neutral): “…cattle consuming tall fescue with alkaloids produced by Neotyphodium coenophialum, accumulating literature has revealed that endophytes are ubiquitous and diverse in their life history traits (reviewed in e.g. Saikkonen et al. 1998; Clay and Schardl 2002; Saikkonen 2007; Cheplick and Faeth 2009).”
Antagonistic activity of endophytic fungi towards Diplodia corticola assessed by in vitro and in planta tests (2007, background): “…symbionts of the ascomycotan family Clavicipitaceae, which grow within the above-ground tissues of many cool season grasses in temperate zones (e.g., Poaceae family) (Arnold et al., 2003; Clay and Schardl, 2002; Saikkonen, Faeth, Helander, & Sullivan, 1998; Schardl, Leuchtmann, Spiering, 2004).”
Evidence for copper binding by extracellular root exudates of tall fescue but not perennial ryegrass infected withNeotyphodium spp. endophytes (2004, background): “Cool-season perennial grasses form associations with several fungal endophytes (Clay and Schardl, 2002).”
