Abstract

During the last few years endophytes occurrence has been constantly reported in healthy, symptomless leaves, suggesting that this microrganisms can colonize plant organs without causing apparent disease symptoms. The purpose of this study was to observe plant-microbe interactions between maize (Zea mays L.) and endophytic bacteria into the leaf tissue by scanning electron microscopy with application of an osmium fixation technique. It was possible to observe intracellular space of maize leaves infected with endophytic bacteria by this technique. The three-dimensional configuration and arrangement of endophyte colonies inside leaf tissue of host plant were visible
