Article Synopsis
- A significant incidence of withering leaves and lesions on plumed cockscombs was observed in Taichung City, Taiwan, affecting 22% of 136 plants, primarily after heavy rainfall, which diminished the plants' aesthetic appeal in gardens and parks.
- Disease symptoms were analyzed by collecting affected plant samples, disinfecting them, and isolating the fungi using specific nutrient agar, resulting in four distinct isolates that displayed characteristic fungal structures and reproductive spores.
- Molecular identification of the isolates was carried out through amplification of specific genetic markers, with high identity percentages confirmed through BLAST analysis, leading to a phylogenetic tree construction that grouped all
The endophytic fungal diversity of , a herb indigenous to Taiwan, was analyzed in this study. In addition, some fungal isolates were evaluated for the risk they pose as plant pathogens. In total, 1836 endophytic fungi were isolated from from Hehuanjian, Puli Township, and Tatachia.
