Inoculation of T. virens inoculum into oil palm tissue culture ramets through dipping technique has shown positive colonization by the presence of regenerating hyphae penetrating and colonizing the root tissues (Figure 2). The colonization of endophytic fungi in oil palm root system was shown by SGFP-tracking (Figure 3) in successfully transformed T. virens, demonstrating that Trichoderma could be an endophyte in oil palm roots.
