ABSTRACT:
To provide rough bluegrasses having improved characteristics, and in particular improved insect resistance and disease resistance, an endophyte comprising a filamentous endophytic fungus living in wild plants that exist in nature is isolated and artificially grown, and rough bluegrasses are then inoculated and infected with the artificially grown endophyte so that the endophyte lives symbiotically in the rough bluegrasses. In particular, rough bluegrasses Poa trivialis and Poa compressa and endophytic fungus Acremonium sp. Po-060 (FERM P-15862).
