Fig. 1 Relative yield total (RYT) of red clover and endophyte-infected (E+) and noninfected (E-) tall fescue genotypes DN2 and DN11 grown in binary mixtures. When endophyte-infected, the concentration of loline alkaloids in roots of DN2 was twice that of DN11, indicating a possible allelopathic effects on red clover. Adapted from Malinowski et al. (1999a)

Fig. 4 Root DM of tall fescue genotypes DN2 and DN4 grown in a P-deficient soil supplied with phosphate rock (PR) and in vitro P solubility (from PR) by tall fescue root exudates in response to infection with the leaf fungal endophyte, N. coenophialum (E-, noninfected; E+, infected).

Fig. 6 Fe3+ reducing activity of exudates from intact roots of tall fescue (averaged over genotypes DN2, DN4, DN7, and DN11) in response to endophyte infection (E-, noninfected; E+, infected) and P availability in the growth medium during a 24-h measurement cycle.
