Isolation and Identification of Endophytic Fungi from Pinus massoniana and Their Diversity
By means of tissue block method, one hundred and two strains of endophytic fungi were isolated from roots, stems and leaves of Pinus massoniana.They belonged to 11 genera, 6 families, 6 orders, 3 classes, 3 phyla, by morphological iden-tification.Twelve strains of six genera were isolated from roots, 23 strains of 9 genera from stems, and 67 strains of 11 gen-era from leaves.Mucor and Tir chodre ma were the dominant species.The endophytic fungi distributed in roots, stems and leaves of Pinus msa soniana, and the species had broad biodiversity.The quantity and species of the endophytic fungi had great difference among different organs of Pinus massoin ana, with leaves ranking the first, followed by stems and roots.
