| Abstract/Contents: | "The Epichloae (Epichlöe and Neotyphodium species) are agriculturally important fungal symbionts that associate with cool season grasses. This association is known to confer several benefits to the plant host, including drought resistance and decreased herbivory due to secondary metabolites produced by the fungal partner. A tall fescue collection from Greece was evaluated for the presence of Epichloae to identify and characterize novel endophyte strains. Of the 88 lines investigated, 38 lines were infected with Neotyphodium species. Pure cultures of each endophyte were obtained from infected tillers. Individual isolates were classified according to morphological characteristics, including growth rate, conidia morphology, and colony appearance. Isolates were also subjected to phylogenetic analyses of the tefA and tubB genes and the ITS region. The alkaloid potential of each isolate was determined using PCR. Results indicate that the Greek isolates are likely to produce some ergot alkaloids and/or indole-diterpenes in planta. Characterization of these secondary metabolism clusters will result in a greater insight and understanding into the evolution of the Epichloae." |
