Abstract/Contents: | "Grasses from Patagonia and Tierra Del Fuego were screened microscopically for the presence of endophytic mycelium in leaf sheaths and culms in an herbarium survey and field study. In a screening of genera Festuca and Poa in the Instituto de Botanica Darwinion in San Isidro, Argentina, endophytes were encountered in 10-20% of the specimens examined, including species Festuca argentina, F. dissitiflora, F. erecta, F. fimbriata, F. hieronymi, F. subantarctica, Poa alopecurus, P. gymnantha, P. huecu, P. ibari, P. magellanica, and P. pardoana. Living plants were also screened for endophytes in Tierra Del Fuego. These were detected in Festuca magellanica, Poa poecila, P. rigidifolia and Phelum commutatum. Endophytes were isolated from several of these South American grasses and examined in culture. Colonies are white, slow growing, with morphology typical of the Epichloë-related endophytes. DNA was extracted and rDNA ITS regions amplified and sequenced. Sequences are compared to those of North American and European endophytes." |
