Abstract/Contents: | "Recent research demonstrated that A. coenophialum can infect, inter/intracellularly, roots of tall fescue grown on an aseptic culture medium. To investigate this relationship, seeds of endophyte-infected tall fescue were sterilized, cultured on PDA, and incubated in a growth chamber. After 4 and 8 wk, fungus-infected root tissue was examined by SEM, TEM, and light microscopy. Hyphae were densely packed between root epidermal cells and were often associated with root caps and meristems. Conidiophores and conidia formed on root hairs. Host cell walls adjacent to hyphae were occasionally ruptured, but no evidence of enzymatic degradation was observed. Electron dense deposits were found within and surrounding hyphal cell walss. The origin and composition of these deposits are being investigated. Infection of tall fescue roots by A. coenophialum in soil is currently being studied." |
