Abstract/Contents: | "[The objective of the study was] to evaluate variation of the tall fescue endophyte in tall fescue turfgrass breeding lines developed by Dr. A. Robert Mazur and to isolate endophyte at different times during the growing season and evaluate [it] for stability....Preliminary results suggest variation among isolates from different tall fescue breeding lines for nitrogen and sugar utilization. It is important to identify and characterize the resident endophyte in tall fescue breeding lines. Numerous beneficial effects of the endophyte include: tolerance to water stress, insect pests, improved plant vigor, and increased seed production....Utilization of the endophyte in turfgrass breeding and improvement requires understanding of the interatction between the resident endophyte, tall fescue, and the environment." |
