Diversity and Plant Growth Promotion of Fungal Endophytes in Five Halophytes from the Buan Salt Marsh.

The diversity and plant growth-promoting ability of fungal endophytes that are associated with five halophytic plant species (, and ) growing in the Buan salt marsh on the west coast of South Korea have been explored. About 188 fungal strains were isolated from these plant samples' roots and were then studied with the use of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region (ITS1-5.8S-ITS2).

Biosynthesis of (R)-(-)-1-Octen-3-ol in Recombinant with Lipoxygenase-1 and Hydroperoxide Lyase Genes from .

is an ectomycorrhizal fungus, related with the host of . Most of studies on have focused on mycelial growth, genes and genomics, phylogenetics, symbiosis, and immune activity of this strain. is known for its unique fragrance in Eastern Asia.

A new strain of Arthrinium phaeospermum isolated from Carex kobomugi Ohwi is capable of gibberellin production.

Plant growth-promoting endophytic fungi with gibberellin-producing ability were isolated from the roots of Carex kobomugi Ohwi, a common sand-dune plant, and bioassayed for plant growth-promotion. A new strain, Arthrinium phaeospermum KACC43901, promoted growth of waito-c rice and Atriplex gemelinii. Analysis of its culture filtrate showed the presence of bioactive GA(1) (0.
