Epichloe festucae strain:FG1 Genome sequencing and assembly. Epichloe festucae strain:FG1

Epichloë festucae is a filamentous fungal endophyte that forms a symbiotic interaction with cool season grasses. The endophyte produces a range of secondary metabolites that confer bioprotection against both insects and mammals. Strains that only target insects have been successfully utilised in Agriculture as a natural strategy for insect control. The genome of Fg1, isolated from Festuca glauca, was sequenced as a model system for an asexual stain with novel bioprotection
