Host:

The purpose of the data was to gain an understanding of the effect of fungal endophyte on responses of selected Brachiaria cultivars under well-watered and drought conditions. The study was to answer the question as to whether symbiotic association of Brachiaria grasses with fungal endophyte (Acremonium implicatum synonym Sarocladium implicatum) improves plant growth and tolerance to drought stress. This was approached by measuring: • Plant water status, determining as leaf relative water contents (RWC) • Leaf dry matter contents (DMC) • Total non-structural carbohydrate (NSC) contents • Biomass The subject areas of the study involved plant-microbe interactions, plant physiology/biochemistry and plant ecology Funded by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida) through Biosciences eastern and central Africa-International Livestock Research Institute, BecA-ILRI (Nairobi, Kenya)
