NEW FINDS OF ENDOPHYTIC FUNGI. A BRIEF NOTE
Abstract
Endophytic fungi are found in natural populations of giant fescue (Festuca gigantea (L.) Vill.) and bearded wheatgrass (Elymus caninus (L.) L.) on the territory of S.N. Skadovsky Zvenigorod Biological Station (Moscow Region). Endophytes were isolated from infected seeds of both grass species. All isolates were identified as Epichloё festucae Leuchtm., Schardl & M.R. Siegel.
