How does the Fungal Endophyte Neotyphodium coenophialum Affect Tall Fescue (Festuca arundinacea) Rhizodeposition and Soil Microorganisms? (2005, background): “…suggests, however, that the benefits of hosting an endophyte are not consistently expressed and may vary between species and genotypes (Belesky and Fedders, 1996; Cheplick et al., 2000; Malinowski et al., 2000) and between agricultural and natural grasses (Faeth, 2002; Saikkonen et al., 1998).”
Endophytic fungi alter relationships between diversity and ecosystem properties (2004, background): “Although endophytes may not be as strongly beneficial in some grass species (Saikkonen et al. 1998; Faeth 2002 ), few experimental studies have been conducted on non-agronomic species.”
Insect-Fungal Associations: Ecology and Evolution (2005, background): “The generality of mutualism among endophyte–host symbioses has been actively debated through recent work in natural systems both with feral grasses (Faeth 2002) and woody plants (Carroll 1986, 1995), with the only general rule appearing to be a continuum of diverse interactions between endophytes an”
Persistent, symptomless, systemic, and seed-borne infection of lettuce by Botrytis cinerea (2009, background): “Many plants harbour rich endophytic floras (Crozier et al. , 2006; Faeth, 2002; Gange et al. , 2007; Rudgers et al. , 2004).”
Even after death the endophytic fungus of Schedonorus phoenix reduces the arbuscular mycorrhizas of other plants (2008, background): “Nevertheless, the exact nature of the relationship between the grass and its endophytic fungus has been hotly debated in the literature (Faeth 2002; Saikkonen et al .”
Fungal endophyte negative effects on herbivory are enhanced on intact plants and maintained in a subsequent generation (2010, background): “The vast majority of fungal endophytes form internal localized infections in foliage, roots, stems, and bark and are horizontally transmitted via spores (Faeth, 2002).”
Endophyte symbiosis benefits a rare grass under low water availability (2008, background): “Our work expands understanding of the ecological consequences of grass-endophyte symbioses in natural ecosystems and suggests that endophyte benefits may be more common in non-agronomic systems than previously predicted (Faeth 2002; Saikkonen et al. 2006).”
The Epichloae, Symbionts of the Grass Subfamily Poöideae1 (2010, background): “The claim that the protective effects have arisen by selective breeding (Faeth, 2002) ignores the fact that potent antiherbivore alkaloids and anti-insect activities characterize wild populations of these grasses (Christensen et al., 1993), as well as uncultivated grasses such as Agrostis hyemalis…”
Influence of an endophytic fungus on host plant selection by a polyphagous moth via volatile spectrum changes (2008, background): “The mechanisms underlying anti-herbivore properties of endophytic fungi are attributed mainly to the production of various alkaloid-based defensive compounds in the plant tissue (Clay and Holah 1999; Faeth 2002) or through Handling Editor: Walter Carson.”
Fungal endophytes: diversity and functional roles. (2009, background): “…Siegel et al., 1989; West et al., 1990; Patterson et al., 1991; Riedell et al., 1991; Breen, 1993; Bush et al., 1997; Saikkonen et al., 1999; Lane et al., 2000; Faeth, 2002; Leuchtman, 2003; Schardl & Moon, 2003; Panaccione, 2005; Rao et al., 2005; Panaccione et al., 2006; Koulman et al., 2007).”
Endophytic fungi in European aspen (Populus tremula) leaves—diversity, detection, and a suggested correlation with herbivory resistance (2010, background): “Endophyte–host mutualism has been mainly demonstrated in grasses (or clavicipitalean systems) within Poaceae subfam .P ooideae (“pooid grasses”; Grass Phylogeny Working Group 2001) and there have been many studies (Clay 1988; Bazely et al. 1997; Faeth 2002; Koh and Hik 2007; Granath et al. 2007; R”
High diversity of fungi associated with living parts of boreal forest bryophytes (2008, background): “Endophytic fungi may impact plant–herbivore relationships, as they are known to function as herbivore deterrents (Faeth 2002).”
