Abstract/Contents: | "Isozyme analysis, morphological characters, sensitivity to benomyl in vitro, and the production of alkaloids in the fungal-host-grass associations were used to examine the relationships between Acremonium endophytes of Festuca arundinacea, F. pratensis and Lolium perenne. Isozyme analysis identified six taxonomic groupings, with each grouping comprising isolates from just one of the three grass species. Three taxonomic groupings occured in F. arundinacea, two in L. perenne and one in F. pratensis. Alkaloid production in the natural host grass-Acremonium associations proved a useful taxonomic criterion, with the profile of alkaloids being consistent in the host plants for all isolates within a single isozyme phenotype and for most isolates within a taxonomic grouping. On the basis of morphological, cultural and secondary product criteria, only one of the three taxonomic groupings identified amongst the F. arundinacea endophytes fitted the definition of A. coenophialum, and only one grouping of L. perenne endophytes could be accommodated within A. lolii. All isolates from F. pratensis could be accommodated within A. uncinatum even though the conidia differed between isolates of the two isozyme phenotypes identified during this study." |
