| Abstract/Contents: | Limited amounts of evidence suggests that endophyte infected perennial ryegrass grows better than endophyte free plants under "stress conditions." What constitutes "stress conditions" is not yet clearly understood. Mentions a project initiated in 1986 to assess the role of endophyte infection in drought stress tolerance. This study compared infected and uninfected plants derived from the same clones. Tillers from the same mother plant were potted separately. Half of the tillers were treated for eight weeks with Benomyl (as a drench) to eliminate the fungus. This method produced 'same-clonal' plants with and without endophyte. The plants were plotted in sandy-loam soil to which 5 g/L Osmocote 14-14-14 had been added. Each plant has watered to saturation when daily weighing showed that the pot had dried to a height corresponding to the bar value for the relevant treatment. After 7 1/2 weeks, number of tillers, dry weight of roots, and dry weight of live and dead blades were measured. Statistical analysis of data is not yet complete. |
