The root-feeding scarab insect Costelytra giveni causes severe damage to pasture ecosystems in New Zealand. Loline alkaloids produced by some Epichloë
endophytes deter this insect. In two experiments, tall fescue infected with E. coenophiala

Species belonging to the Festuca-Lolium complex are often naturally infected with endophytic fungi of genus Epichloë. Recent studies on endophytes have shown the beneficial roles of host-endophyte associations as protection against insect herbivores

Loline alkaloids produced by Epichloe spp. are known to deter feeding by insect herbivores while also serving as a significant carbon source for certain epiphytic bacteria on tall fescue leaves. In this study we examined the role of loline alkaloids

Loline alkaloid production by fungal endophytes of Fescue species select for particular epiphytic bacterial microflora

The leaves of fescue grasses are protected from herbivores by the production of loline alkaloids by the mutualist fungal endophytes Neotyphodium sp. or Epichloë sp. Most bacteria that reside on the leaf surface of such grasses can consume these defe

Summary 1. Fungal endophyte – grass symbioses can have dramatic ecological effects, altering individual plant physiology, plant and animal community structure and function, and ecosystem processes such as litter decomposition and nutrient cycling.
