Fig. 14-22. Neotyphodium coenophialum isolated from leaves of three naturally infected tall fescue plants (cv. Georgia 5). Growth of the fungus from incubated excised leaf pieces is shown with three leaves per plant. Plant 1 (right plate) has hyphae in the blade (B), ligular zone (L), and sheath (S) of each leaf. In Plant 2 (center plate), hyphae were detected in a single blade, in the ligular zone of two leaves, and in the sheath of all three leaves. In Plant 3 (left plate), hyphae were detected in leaf sheaths only.
