Examining intercellular infections in certain plant species that
lead to a symbiotic relationship between the host and its
endophytic microbes, this volume demonstrates the ability of many
types of endosymbionts, acting as a unit with hosts to better
survive, compete and reproduce. Practical applications of such
endophytes are also discussed, for example, pharmaceutical
developments and agricultural management.
The clavicipitaleans have a long, bittersweet relationship with
humans. Clavicipitaleans such as Claviceps and Epichloe were the
causes of several human and animal toxicoses throughout recorded
history. Claviceps and Cordyceps were the sources of a treasure
chest of medicines that have benefited millions of people.
Clavicipitaleans have found applications in biocontrol of insects,
nematodes, and fungi. As much as we know about them, there is much
more to learn about their evolutionary development on a genomic and
biochemical level. Clavicipitalean Fungi: Evolutionary Biology,
Chemistry, Biocontrol, and Cultural Impacts provides a foundation
for developing knowledge of the entire family. This reference
analyzes the ecology, evolution, genetics, physiology, and taxonomy
of this diverse group of fungi for identification of common
biological, biochemical, and genetic features and discovery of
potential medical and agricultural applications. It traces and
reconstructs the evolution of various host-endoparasite systems and
studies recent taxonomic research and DNA sequence analyses on
plant-infecting clavicipitaleans. Providing a holistic view of the
entire clavicipitalean family, the book compares morphologic,
geographic, and host variations among various clavicipitalean
populations and examines key discoveries and compounds obtained in
clavicipitalean studies.
This book considered the biological, ecological, toxicology, and
chemical aspects of research topics as they relate to endophytes of
grasses. Several chapters reflect the very pragmatic applications
of endophytes and endophyte-infected grasses. Other chapters offer
future applications for endophytes and are therefore discussed from
theoretical viewpoints. This book contains the collective writings
of an international group of experts on fungal endophytes of
grasses, all of whom are directed toward, understanding, creating,
and exploiting the positive aspects of endophytes. With this book,
we are attempting to stimulate and facilitate future explorations
of the grass endophytes.

Endophytic fungi belonging to the Balansieae tribe were first
hypothesized to cause poor livestock performance in 1977 and, in
1980, the association was validated. The fungi were extensively
studied and classified according to morphology, their life cycles
exam- ined to determine methods to eliminate the fungi in grasses,
and practical methods devel- oped for livestock producers to
eliminate endophyte-infected plants from pastures and establish
endophyte-free plants. Hindsight illustrates how primitive was our
understanding of the associations between endophyte, grass plant,
and animal. The plant/endophyte asso- ciations, thought to be rare
cases, have now been identified in grasses that are adapted from
tropical to nearly arctic, and from marshland to desert climatic
regimes. In the two decades that have passed since the first
endophyte-plant-animal associa- tion was made, the scientific
community has re-classified the endophytic fungi twice (now the
genus Neotyphodium), ~he systematics and ecological role of
endophytes have been more clearly defined, endophytes and grasses
are now generally accepted as mutualistic symbionts, the chemistry
of toxins and their functions defined, beneficial effects of endo-
phytes on plants identified, and commercial ventures have emerged
based upon endophyte research in the turfgrass and livestock
industries.
