Abstract excerpt
Epichloë species are systemic, often seed-transmissible symbionts (endophytes) of cool-season grasses (Poaceae subfam. Poöideae) that produce up to four classes of bioprotective alkaloids. Whereas haploid Epichloë species may reproduce sexually and transmit between host plants (horizontally), many Epichloë species are polyploid hybrids that are exclusively transmitted via seeds (vertically). Therefore, the...
