Seasonal distribution and biopotential of endophytic fungi recovered from photosynthetic root of Tinospora cordifolia.

摘要: A total of 263 endophytic isolates were recovered from 1800 segments plotted in three different seasons (winter, summer, and monsoon) at three different locations (BHU, Ramnagar, and Maruadih) representing the 20 different fungal taxa. The colonization frequency was maximal during monsoon (20.5%) followed by winter (13.83%) and minimal during summer (9.5%). However, among sites, it was maximum at location 3 (Ramnagar) (18.66%) followed by location 1(BHU) (17.16%) and location 2 (Maruadih) (8.0%). A maximum CF of 1.5% was observed for Cladosporium cladosporioides followed by Alternaria alternata and Colletotrichum gloeosporioides 1.27%, Nigrospora oryzae 1.22% and Phomopsis tersa 1.1% while Aspergillus tubingensis followed by Fusarium brachygibbosum were recovered as a rare taxon with 0.16% and 0.22% colonization frequency, respectively.
