Interaction between Grasses and <i>Epichloë</i> Endophytes and Its Significance to Biotic and Abiotic Stress Tolerance and the Rhizosphere

Cool-season grasses are the most common forage types in livestock operations and amenities. Several of the cool-season grasses establish mutualistic associations with an endophytic fungus of the <i>Epichloë</i> genus. The grasses and endophytic fungi have evolved over a long period of ti...
