| Abstract/Contents: | "Endophytes have been found to promote drought resistance in forage grasses. Most studies of the effects of endophytes on host fitness have focused on endophyte-infected tall fescue and perennial ryegrass. This study was designed to examine drought resistance of four cool-season turfgrasses, tall fescue perennnial ryegrass, fine fescue, and Kentucky bluegrass, associated with endophytes, and to determine effects of endophytes on the recuperative ability of the four grasses. Endophyte-infected or endophyte free plants of each species were exposed to well-watered conditions or drought stress for 30 d in a growth chamber. Drought-stressed plants were then rewatered to allow recovery for 14 d. Drought stress reduced turf quality, relative water content, chlorophyll content, and increased electrolyte leakage for both endophyte-infected and endophyte-free plants in all four grasses. However, plants infected by endophytes exhibited better drought resistance relative to uninfected plants for all four species. The enhanced drought resistance was manifested by the increased turf quality, cholorophyll content, and relative water content, and decreased electrolyte leakage in endophyte-infected plants compared to endophyte-free plants. Endophyte infection increased the recuperative ability of plants from drought stress in all four species, particularly for tall fescue." |
