Epichloë endophytes can contribute to the establishment of sustainable agricultural systems 14, 15, as they are natural fungal symbionts of many agriculturally important grass species and can The endophytic fungus Epichloë festucae systemically colonizes the intercellular spaces of cool-season grasses to establish a mutualistic symbiosis. Hyphal growth of the endophyte within the host plant is tightly regulated and synchronized with the growth of the host plant. Epichloe / enzymology Epichloe / genetics Epichloe / metabolism* Epichloë festucae is a systemic and seed-transmissible endophytic fungus of cool season grasses.. First described in 1994, Epichloë festucae is a sister lineage to Epichloë amarillans, Epichloë baconii, Epichloë mollis and Epichloë stromatolonga. Epichloë festucae is found across North America, where it lives in the grass species Bromus kalmii and Elymus spp. (including Elymus patula). Epichloë festucae is a common symbiont of the perennial and widely distributed cool season grass, Festuca rubra.The symbiosis is highly integrated involving systemic growth of the fungus throughout above-ground host parts and vertical transmission from plant to its offspring via host seeds. However, the nature of symbiosis is labile ranging from antagonistic to mutualistic depending on Epichloë festucae forms an expressorium, an appressorium‐like leaf exit structure. Although the E. festucae symbiosis with L. perenne is established by endophytic hyphae (Fig. 1), hyphae within the leaf were frequently observed to breach the plant cuticle to emerge and grow on the outer surface of leaf sheath and blade (Figs 1, ,2). 2 This paper aims to demonstrate the efforts towards in-situ applicability of EMMARM, which aims to provide real-time information about the phytochemical properties of E.coli to help in the diagnosis of infectious diseases. Natural hosts for the fungal endophyte Epichloë festucae include Festuca rubra (fine fescue) and Festuca trachyphylla (hard fescue).
