| Abstract/Contents: | "Selected Neotyphodium sp. endophytes are now commonly used to enhance pasture persistence and livestock productivity, with seed of perennial ryegrass and tall fescue cultivars with these selected endophytes being commercially available. In a large population of perennial ryegrass plants infected with a Neotyphodium sp. endophyte that was being grown for seed production a small percentage of inflorescences were distorted and covered with a conspicuous white mycelial growth. Within individual plants only a small number of inflorescences were affected and the amount of distortion differed between affected inflorescences. This Neotyphodium sp. is an interspecific hybrid of Epichloë typhina and Neotyphodium. lolii and like nearly all other Neotyphodium spp is symptomless in host grasses. The fungus isolated from distorted inflorescences had colonies that were identical to those isolated from symptomless inflorescences and these were characteristic of this Neotyphodium sp. This is the first report of distorted inflorescences covered with epiphytic hyphal growth on host grasses infected with an interspecific hybrid Neotyphodium sp." |
