Abstract
National Agrobiodiversity Center, National Academy of Agricultural Science, RDA, Wanju 565-851, KoreaABSTRACT: Halophytes of seven species, Carex scabrifolia Steud., Limonium tetragonum Bullock, Salicornia europaea L., Suaedaglauca Bunge, Suaeda japonica Makino, Suaeda maritima Dumort., and Triglochin maritimum L. were collected from the TaeanPeninsula. Thirty-seven endophytic fungi were isolated from the root of halophytes, and analyzed using the DNA sequences ofinternal transcribed spacers (ITS). The diversity of all endophytic fungi was analyzed using diversity indices. The endophytic fungiassociated with the halophytes belonged to seven orders; Eurotiales (78%), Capnodiales (5%), Hypocreales (5%), Agaricales (3%),Corticiales (3%), Glomerellales (3%), and Pleosporales (3%). At the phylum level, the endophytic fungi were composed of Asco-mycota and Basidiomycota. At the genus level, Alternaria, Aspergillus, Cladosporium, Paecilomyces, Penicillium, Phanerochaete,Schizophyllum, Talaromyces, and Verticillium were confirmed. Among them, Penicillium was the most abundant in the roots of thehalophytes. This study analyzed the distribution and diversity of endophytic fungi on halophytes in the Taean Peninsula.KEYWORDS :
