Endophytic fungus, Radulidium subulatum from Phragmites australis in Iran
In order to isolate and identify endophytic fungi of Phragmites australis, numerous samplings were conducted from the plants grown in the southern areas of the Caspian Sea in Guilan, Mazandaran and Golestan provinces and saline soils around the Lake Urmia at province of East Azarbaijan. Twenty-one isolates of the genus Radulidium were obtained from healthy tissues of P. au...
متن کاملBrachiaria Grasses (Brachiaria spp.) harbor a diverse bacterial community with multiple attributes beneficial to plant growth and development
Endophytic and plant-associated bacteria were isolated from plants and rhizoplane soil of naturally grown Brachiaria grasses at International Livestock Research Institute in Nairobi, Kenya. Eighty-four bacterial strains were isolated from leaf tissues, root tissues, and rhizoplane soil on nutrient agar and 869 media. All bacterial strains were identified to the lowest possible taxonomic unit us...
متن کاملConsequences For Captive Zebra Finches of Consuming Tall Fescue Seeds Infected With the Endophytic Fungus Acremonium coenophialum
Tall fescue (Festuca rundinacea) plants can be infected with the endophytic fungus Acremonium coenophialum. This fungus, which grows subcutaneously in leaves, stems, and seeds, does not undergo sexual reproduction or sporulate, and cannot survive outside the plant (Clay 1988). The fungus is passed from one generation to the next through infected seed. A mutualistic relationship exists between t...
متن کاملDetection of lpsA Gene in Neotyphodium endophytic Fungi of Grasses in Iran
The lpsA gene, a late acting gene in the biosynthetic pathway of ergovaline, a suspected causative agent for fescue toxicosis in cattle, has been cloned from Neotyphodium lolii, an endophytic fungus of Lolium perenne. In this study, a similar gene was detected in several strains of endophytic Neotyphodium spp. isolated from grass hosts endogenous to Iran using direct and nested-PCR assays. Exce...
متن کاملAssociation of an endophytic fungus with fescue toxicity in steers fed Kentucky 31 tall fescue seed or hay.
Previous research has implicated an endophytic fungus as being associated with fescue toxicity (summer syndrome) in cattle grazing Kentucky 31 tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) pastures. Hay and seed were harvested from Kentucky 31 pastures known to be either fungus-free or heavily infested with an endophytic fungus identified as Acremonium coenophialum Morgan-Jones and Gams. Four diets...
