Abstract
Endophyte infected, drought resistant crops are gaining in popularity with growers because irrigation can be expensive and rainfall unpredictably sparse. For this reason there has been a recent explosion of research relating to the benefits of plant microbe interactions. Our investigations were focused on fungal endophytes that produce alkaloid compounds which confer drought resistance in forage grasses.
