- Observation A total 183 endophytic fungi representing 13 fungal taxa were isolated from leaf, stem and root tissues of C. roseus from two sites representing two different ecosystems in North India.
- Observation A total 183 endophytic fungi representing 13 fungal taxa were isolated from leaf, stem and root tissues of C. roseus from two sites representing two different ecosystems in North India.
- Observation with two exceptions (one coelomycete and one ascomycete), all of the isolates were Hyphomycetes.
- Observation Root tissues were heavily colonized by genera such as Alternaria, Cladosporium and Aspergillus.
- Observation leaf tissues showed a greater diversity of endophytes
- Observation Drechslera, Curvularia, Bipolaris, Alternaria and Aspergillus spp. were the dominant fungi isolated.
- Observation a fungus producing no fruiting structures was the most prevalent, isolated from C. roseus.
- Observation it was identified as Chaetomium globossum, with 99% sequence similarity (537/540).
- Observation The species richness as well as frequency of colonization of endophytic fungi were pronounced in the root tissues at both sites (Loc 1, 38.6%; Loc 2, 33.7%).
- Observation The species richness as well as frequency of colonization of endophytic fungi were pronounced in the root tissues at both sites (Loc 1, 38.6%; Loc 2, 33.7%).
- Association This study suggests that endophytes are both host- and tissue-specific.
- Association there were little differences in the species richness of fungal endophytes recovered from plants in the two different ecological sites.
