STREPTOMYCES ASSOCIATED WITH ROOT NODULES OF CORIARIA IN NEW ZEALAND

Department, University of Canterbury, Christchurch

Abstract Sections through root nodules of all seven species of Coriaria found in New Zealand shewed the presence of a mycelial endophyte with hyphae less than 1 ^ in diameter. These hyphae were embedded in the peripheral cytoplasm of infected cortical cells and produced numerous swollen branches which were radially arranged within the cell. The symbiotic association therefore differs anatomically from those described for other non-leguminous plants. Isolations from active nodules consistently yielded Streptomyces.
