Fungal Diversity The endophytic mycobiota of the grass Dactylis glomerata
Fungal endophytes were isolated from asymptomatic and symptomatic plants of Dactylis glomerata sampled in different ecosystems in Spain. Fungi were identified using morphological, as well as molecular methods based on internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and ribosomal DNA sequencing. Molecular data provided a framework for identification and assessing the phylogenetic position of isolates. One hun...
متن کاملEffects of the Epichloë fungal endophyte symbiosis with Schedonorus pratensis on host grass invasiveness
Initial studies of grass-endophyte mutualisms using Schedonorus arundinaceus cultivar Kentucky-31 infected with the vertically transmitted endophyte Epichloë coenophiala found strong, positive endophyte effects on host-grass invasion success. However, more recent work using different cultivars of S. arundinaceus has cast doubt on the ubiquity of this effect, at least as it pertains to S. arundi...
متن کاملDeletion of the fungal gene soft disrupts mutualistic symbiosis between the grass endophyte Epichloë festucae and the host plant.
Hyphal anastomosis, or vegetative hyphal fusion, establishes the interconnection of individual hyphal strands into an integrated network of a fungal mycelium. In contrast to recent advances in the understanding of the molecular basis for hyphal anastomosis, knowledge of the physiological role of hyphal anastomosis in the natural habitats of filamentous fungi is still very limited. To investigat...
متن کاملProtein and Lipid Compositions of Isolated Plasma Membranes from Orchard Grass (Dactylis glomerata L.) and Changes during Cold Acclimation.
The chemical composition of plasma membrane fractions isolated from orchard grass seedlings (Dactylis glomerata L.) was analyzed and compared with endomembranes. The plasma membrane is characterized by an enrichment of sterols and a lower degree of unsaturation of phospholipids. Steryl glycosides were found to be one of the lipid components of the plasma membrane, but steryl esters and galactol...
متن کاملIdentification of the fungal endophyte of Ammophila breviligulata (American beachgrass) as Epichloë amarillans
The grass Ammophila breviligulata (American beachgrass) is known to host an endophyte of the genus Epichloë. Based on morphological characteristics it was originally identified as Acremonium typhinum var. ammophilae and is currently designated as Epichloë typhina var. ammophilae. However, the Epichloë species has not previously been identified based on DNA sequence data. Based on phylogenetic p...
