Abstract

<p> The ecology and taxomy of plant parasitic clavicipitaceous fungi in East Asia were studied. These studies showed that 1) Aciculosporium take, a causal agent of bamboo witches’ broom formed appendaged conidia that can be transmitted by raindrops; 2) symptoms shown by Phyllostachys bambusoides were particularly severe based on the A. take host survey; 3) little difference was observed among the auxin productivities and rDNA nucleotide sequences in A. take isolates; 4) host bamboo species produced antifungal substances (N-p-coumaroyl serotonin) that were probably responsible for resistance to A. take; 5) the anamorphic Ephelis species in East Asia were phylogenetically divided into two groups that shared host grass species and habitat; 6) Heteroepichloë was proposed as a new genus to accommodate Epichloë sasae and E. bambusae. These studies contribute to understanding the use of these fungi as biological resources.</p>
