The paper quantifies the host genetic influence on alkaloid production and fungal biomass in the Tall Fescue-Epichloe symbiosis, finding weak correlation and moderate host control.

This study shows warming disrupts plant-fungal endophyte symbiosis more in leaves than roots, reducing colonization and diversity, and altering community composition.

The paper presents a chromosome-level genome assembly of Venturia effusa, identifying a frameshift mutation in ALM1 associated with the albino phenotype.

The paper investigates how repeat elements shape 3D genome structure and transcription in the fungus Epichloë festucae, revealing a unique patchwork genome with repeat-rich blocks that regulate gene expression in symbiosis.
