ABSTRACT

Leaves of Lindera obtusiloba were collected from four sites in Gangwon Province, Korea. Endophytic fungi were isolated from the leaves and identified using ITS sequences of rDNA. Total twelve species belonging of endophytic fungi were identified; Alternaria alternata, Annulohypoxylon annulatum, Creosphaeria sassafras, Diaporthe eres, Discosia sp., Epicoccum nigrum, Glomerella acutata, Glomerella cingulata, Paraconiothyrium brasiliense, Pestalotiopsis neglecta, Phomopsis amygdali, Xylaria sp. The endophytic fungus, Phomopsis amygdali, was the most dominant species isolated from L. obtusiloba in this study and the fungal diversities varied in the different sites.
