The functional significance of the tissues with thickened cell walls in roots like cortical sclerenchyma and hypodermis has been documented in several aspects such as filtration of excess soil solution, defense of plants against attack of microorganism, check of oxygen leak from the roots, and mechanical support for the structure of cortical disintegration. We have been studying the anatomy of seminal and nodal root axes of summer cereal crops with special emphasis on hypodermis and cortical sclerenchyma. During the course of our observation we found out that among the species examined sorghum nodal roots were colonized by an endophyte in the hypodermis and parts of epidermis. The objectives of this study were 1) to identify the tissue colonized by the endophyte, 2) to investigate the distribution of the endophyte along the nodal root axis, and 3) to examine the relationship of the endophyte colonization with cell wall thickening.
