DIVERSITY OF ENDOPHYTIC FUNGI IN LEAVES OF GLYCINE MAX (L.) MERR. FROM CENTRAL REGION OF MADHYA PRADESH
Rajesh Kumar Tenguria and Anand Firodiya*
ABSTRACT Glycine max (L.) Merr, a widely used agricultural and pharmaceutical plant in India, were exploited for endophytes as a possible source of bioactive secondary metabolites. All isolates were identified based on colony morphology and examination of spores and fruiting bodies using stereo and light microscopes. Total 118 endophytic fungi of 9 genera were isolated from 200 segments of fresh Glycine max (L.) leaves, collected from central region of Madhya Pradesh, India. The endophytic fungi recovered belong to ascomycetes (4.26%), coelomycetes (18.64%), hyphomycetes (65.23%) and sterile mycelium (11.86%) each. The most dominant endophytes observed were Alternaria alternata (25.42%), Phoma spp. (18.64%), Fusarium spp. (15.24%) and Penicillium spp. (12.71%).
