Transcriptomes of tall fescue harboring different Epichloe coenophiala endophyte strains from the field and greenhouse

Tall fescue (Lolium arundinaceum) clones harboring different non-ergot producing fungal endophyte, Epichloe coenophiala strains were sequenced to characterize the endophyte transcriptome. One experiment was done in the field comparing expression of NTE04-11 in the field under ambient conditions and the under increased heat and altered precipitation regime. All other sequences were derived from single (non-replicated) plants grown in the greenhouse harboring different non-ergot producing endophyte strains as labeled in the sequence name. All endophyte strains were inoculated into the KY31 cultivar.
