Woher kommt die Fasnacht ? Lärmiges Treiben, Guggenmusiken, verbrannte Bööggen und ausgelassene Stimmung: Dies alles und noch viel mehr ist Fasnacht, so wie wir sie kennen. Doch kaum einer weiss, wieso wir jedes Jahr dieses Fest so feiern. Auf der Such nach den Ursprüngen stösst man bis in das alte Ägypten vor. Eigentlich verdanken wir die Fasnacht dem altägyptischen Sonnengott Ra.
Endophytes in turf-type perennial ryegrass Endophytes are naturally-occurring fungi that live inside various plant hosts, ranging from trees to grasses. In many cases the relationship has existed between the fungus and the plant for millions of years, and is mutually beneficial (i.e. symbiotic). The fungus derives its nutrition from the grass, and in return the fungus produces a range of a
