Table 1 Fatty acid profile (% total FA) and total fatty acids (% Leaf DW) in DGAT + CO and null plants grown in a growth chamber (n = 6) where all plants are either infected or non-infected with AR1 fungal endophyte strain. Means (± SE) with letters A and B indicating a significant difference within the FA class at P < 0.05)

From: Epichloë fungal endophyte interactions in perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) modified to accumulate foliar lipids for increased energy density
