Abstract/Contents:Presents a study to "determine if there are differences in the nature or amount of volatile compounds produced in the presence of the fungal endophyte." Results include that "endophyte-infected sheaths produced lower amounts of aromatic compounds such as the C8, C9, and C10 aromatic alkane isomers, monoterpenes such as cymene and limonene, as well as benzene acetaldehyde and acetophenone...Endophyte-infected sheaths also produced some unique compounds that are not present in the endophyte-free sheath such as 1-octen-3-ol, 2-octen-3-ol, and cyclohexanone." Also states that "in summary, the lower levels of lipid peroxidation products and the presence of unique compounds such as 1-octen-3-ol may act as the first line of defense against insect attack in turfgrasses. By incorporating endophytes derived from different sources it may be possible to alter the volatile organic compound environment above the turf to hide the plants or repel insect pests."
