Abstract/Contents: | "Perhaps the most widely used agents of biological plant protection are endophytic fungal symbionts (endophytes) of forage and turfgrasses. These are fungi of the family Clavicipitaceae, which grows between host cells in vegetative tissues, ovules, and seeds of systemically infected grass plants." Discusses the benefits of these endophtyes, focusing specifically on the species epichloë. Discusses the evolution of the sexual species, comparing the phylogenetic relationships of the gene sequences of epichloë endophyte with asexual endophytes. |
