Assessing the extent of colonization of endophytic fungi inoculated onto exposed stem surfaces of Cannabis sativa. (A) Cut surface of stem following pruning. These cuts were made at the top of the plant, 65 cm from the crown region. (B) Inoculation method used to assess extent of colonization by placing a mycelial plug at the end of the cut stem. (C) Recovery of Penicillium olsonii from colonized stem. (D) Recovery of Fusarium oxysporum from colonized stem. (E) Recovery of Chaetomium globosum from colonized stem. (F) Recovery of Trichoderma harzianum from colonized stem. (G) Distance travelled downward through stem 7 days following inoculation with the fungi shown in (C–F). All tissues were surface-sterilized prior to plating onto PDA+S. Data are from eight replications in each of two experiments. Bars show standard errors.
