Effects of endophyte infection on the response of Achnatherum inebrians to water stress and nitrogen fertilizer under controlled growth conditions

摘要：

A chnatherum inebrians,locally known as drunken horse grass ( DHG), is a toxic perennial grass found in the western Chinese province of Xinjiang.Recent research shows that DHG is infected by an endophyte that is responsible for the production of the toxic compounds in DHG.It is not clear if this fungus also influences the agronomic performance of DHG.Therefore, an experiment was conducted to test the influence of this fungus, under controlled conditions of different levels of nitrogen fertilizer and water application, on the productivity of DHG.
