Full Length Research Paper
Abstract
The present study reports 2,644 endophytic isolates; only 74 different morphospecies of coelomycetes have been isolated and identified from 14,400 segments of healthy tissues such as leaves (4,800), stem (4,800) and bark (4,800). Each plant tissue with 300 segments was studied in a Petri dish containing 10 segments; totally, 30 plates were studied with four seasons. Totally, 74 coelomycetes were isolated and identified to belong to 16 genera by classical taxonomy. Interestingly, thePestalotiopsis spp. was found to be dominant as compared to other genera in all the collection spots in the four different seasons.
Key words: Coelomycetes, endophytes, parasites, morphospecies, colony frequency, pestalotiopsis, relative percentage occurrence.
