This second stage involves inoculating seedlings of endophyte-free plants with the candidate endophyte and with reference endophytes and then comparing the level of different metabolites produced. |
Phomodione, an usnic acid derivative, was isolated from culture broth of a Phoma species, discovered as an endophyte on a Guinea plant. |
This exercise, involving close cooperation between the PVR Office and endophyte experts, has now been completed. |
The testing of fungal endophyte varieties has undergone a major reorganization and testing under the new procedure has recently concluded for the first group of candidate varieties. |
It is a type of fungus called an endophyte that lives inside the kernels of corn plants, neither harming nor benefiting its host. |
Since D. vaccinii occurs as an endophyte in apparently healthy vines, only vines known to be disease-free should be imported for cultivation. |
