Distribution of Acremonium coenophialum in developing seedlings and inflorescences of Festuca arundinacea

Creator:

Cook, Kathy L.

Abstract:

Acremonium coenophialum is an endophytic fungus which infects the reproductive and vegetative tissue of tall fescue. Interest in this fungus was sparked by research which linked its presence in tall fescue with reduced weight gains and alkaloid-like poisoning in cattle. Incomplete information was available on the endophyte's life or disease...

Studies of the fungal endophyte Acremonium coenophialum in tall fescue

Creator:

Azevedo, Mark D.

Abstract:

Tall fescue is thought to have co-evolved with the fungal endophyte Acremonium coenophialum to form a mutualistic relationship. Endophyte-infected (EI) plants can have increased growth and survival when compared with endophyte-free (EF) plants. Responses to endophyte-infection vary and are host-genotype and fungal-biotype specific. Mechanism(s) by which endophyte-infection confers increased growth...
