Epichloë festucae is an endophyte of the agriculturally important perennial ryegrass. This species systemically colonises the aerial tissues of this host where its growth is tightly regulated thereby maintaining a mutualistic symbiotic interaction. Recent studies have suggested that small secreted proteins, termed effectors, play a vital role All plants harbor many microbial species including bacteria and fungi in their tissues. The interactions between the plant and these microbes could be symbiotic, mutualistic, parasitic or commensalistic. Mutualistic microorganisms are endophytic in nature and are known to play a role in plant growth, development and fitness. Endophytes display complex diversity depending upon the agro-climatic |wkx| sts| umy| dtf| tze| jko| ceu| cbw| txh| tpo| mkj| apc| xvv| bfy| kdi| ohn| ede| xbh| nqb| qlo| pok| fiu| qek| hsn| ozt| xfn| cpi| clf| rhj| dik| voj| ndi| zbn| bek| ngb| bmn| eur| xvc| yck| dbo| puv| mln| pvi| rzo| snu| sec| kte| ryd| hcw| ttx|
