Abstract
Selected isolates of Hymenoscyphus ericae (Read) Korf and Kernan, Oidiodendron griseum Robak, O. maius Barron, and a second O. Robak species were evaluated as inocula for in vitro establishment of micropropagated plantlets of Pieris floribunda (Pursh ex Sims) Benth. and Hook. Severity of shoot necrosis on microshoots differed for each isolate of Oidiodendron. Inoculation of micropropagated plantlets with isolates of H. ericae benefited initial shoot and root development on agar-solidified Woody Plant Medium (WPM) supplemented with sucrose and covered by a layer of autoclaved 1 peat: 1 vermiculite (v/v). Inoculation of microshoots with H. ericae or isolates of Oidiodendron did not stimulate production of adventitious roots.
