Abstract

The ITS regions of 14 isolates of endophytic fungi obtained from the root systems of four Woollsia pungens plants were sequenced and compared to sequences of Hymenoscyphus ericae, Oidiodendron maius and to sequences from other fungal taxa currently available in the GenBank and EMBL nucleotide databases. Sequence data suggested that six distinct taxa were present in the root systems of the four plants and that up to four of these were present in the root system of a single plant. One of the endophytes was identified as an Oidiodendron species, while most other isolates probably belong to the Leotiales.
