Beneficial endophytes which live within certain plants are known to provide desirable, cost-effective biological insect control. Many naturally occurring grasses host symbiotic endophytic fungi. However, beneficial endophytes seldom appear in several species of turf grass, including species of bentgrasses and Kentucky bluegrasses, two commercially important turf grasses which are used extensively on golf courses and for lawn turfs. The invention of this application relates to new methods of inoculating plant tissues which allow the development of endophyte-enhanced varieties of turfgrasses, and to the turf grass varieties produced using the methods.

On sait que les endophytes utiles qui vivent dans certaines plantes permettent de lutter contre les insectes de façon biologique, économique et souhaitable. De nombreuses herbes présentes dans la nature hébergent des champignons endophytes symbiotiques. Cependant les endophytes utiles n'ont jamais été mis en évidence dans plusieurs variétés d'herbes à gazon, y compris des variétés d'agrostides et de pâturins des prés, deux herbes à gazon importantes sur le plan commercial et qui sont largement utilisées sur les terrains de golf et les gazons. L'invention concerne de nouvelles méthodes d'inoculation de tissus végétaux permettant le développement de variétés d'herbes à gazon, optimisées par des endophytes. Elle concerne également des variétés d'herbes à gazon produites au moyen de ces méthodes.
