A test of host specialization by insect vectors as a mechanism for reproductive isolation among entomophilous fungal species

Article Abstract:

The promotion of specialization by flies to single compatible host species due to the sole dependence on fertilized stromata as a food source is investigated. Intraspecific matings are favored by the differences in competitiveness among spermatia of different species deposited on the same stroma.

Interaction between fungal endophytes and environmental stressors influences plant resistance to insects

Article Abstract:

The potential interaction of Neotyphodium coenophialum infection with stress for the modification of plant resistance to insects is investigated. The total protein nitrogen (N) and loline alkaloids in plants are assessed.

Isolate-dependent impacts of fungal endophytes in a multitrophic interaction

Article Abstract:

The alteration in the growth and survival of the parasitoid due to different isolates of the fungus, Neotyphodium lolii, is investigated. The emergence of prepupae from hosts and the survival to adulthood is recorded.
