摘      要：Epichloae endophytes of family Clavicipitaceae(comprising genera Epichloëand Neotyphodium)are fungal symbionts of Pooideae *** associations formed,range from mutually beneficial to antagonistic and the nature of this relationship is dependent upon the importance of vertical(via host seeds)versus horizontal(ascospore mediated)transmission of the *** endophytes can enhance their hosts’survival through protection from abiotic and biotic stresses and can thus be utilized in an agricultural ***-safe grass-endophyte associations that confer bio-protective properties for increased pasture persistence and productivity have been developed and *** of the crucial drivers underpinning the selection of epichloae strains for commercial development is endophyte derived *** potential of next generation endophytes is determined by testing a number of attributes such as agronomic fitness,animal and food safety as well as compatibility with host plants of *** research supports these activities by focusing on elucidating mechanisms of compatibility between host and fungal symbiont,as well as investigating other molecular drivers of symbiosis such as siderophore mediated iron-uptake,fungal signalling,fungal growth in host plants and fungal secondary *** review weaves together the different strands of multidisciplinary research aimed at ultimately exploiting epichloae endophytes for increased pasture performance.
