Neotyphodium in Cool-Season Grasses is an up-to-date anthology of the latest knowledge on the genus Neotyphodium.

Neotyphodium in Cool-Season Grasses covers the molecular biology of Neotyphodium endophytes and their effects on grass hosts, invertebrate and vertebrate herbivores, and the plant communities in which they interact.

Neotyphodium in Cool-Season Grasses also includes information on the commercial uses of endophytes in livestock and turf industries.
