Abstract/Contents:"Tall fescue (Lolium arundinaceum L.) plants symbiotic with the endophytic fungus, Neotyphodiumcoenophialum (E+), have better survivability and persistence under stressful conditions, especially under drought stress, than plants lacking the endophyte (E-). To understand more about the grass-endophyte interactions and how endophyte affects the host plant physiology and gene expression, we conducted a time course water deficit stress experiment using genetically identical E+ and E- clone pairs of tall fescue. Upon re-watering, survival and retillering was significantly greater for E+ than E- plants starting from days 2 - 3 of the stress conditions. RNA-Seq analysis of pseudostem derived RNA comparing E+ and E- of Day 2 stress and control plants was done. CLCbio Genomic Workbench was used to generate contigs using the tall fescue cDNA sequences previously submitted to NCBI as a reference. The contig sequences were analyzed using Blastx and Blastn against the Arabidopsis thaliana, Brachypodium distachyon and rice genomes for comparison and putative annotation assignment. Only a few contigs/genes were differentially expressed between the E+ and E- plants under non-stressed conditions, but a large number were differentially expressed (>2X) between E+ and E- plants under the water deficit conditions. In addition, as expected, a large number of contigs/genes were differentially expressed due to the stress treatment. Metabolomic analyses revealed higher accumulation of the free sugars and proline in E+ plants at early days of onset of stress compared to E- plants. Loline alkaloids and mannitol, fungal metabolites, also increased with water stress. Analysis of specific genes is ongoing and results will be presented."
