Abstract
Many fungal species with animal, fungal and plant-based nutritional modes have been isolated as endophytes of healthy plant tissue. This endophytic life style can last through the entire species? life cycle or can be expressed only during a portion of it, leaving their host for reproduction and dispersal purposes. The objective of this study was to identify a group of unknown endophytic fungal isolates isolated from the living sapwood of wild and planted Hevea (rubber tree) populations. Three novel lineages belonging to the genus Tolypocladium are described based on molecular and morphological data. Their ecology and potential application in biocontrol of diseases in rubber plantations are discussed. Findings from this study open a window for novel hypotheses, not only in the ecology and role of endophytes within plant communities, but also on trait evolution and potential forces driving diversification of Cordyceps-like fungi. This study stresses the importance of integrating the asexual and sexual fungal states, for a more complete understanding of the natural history of this diverse group. In addition, it highlights the study of fungi in the sapwood of tropical trees as habitat for the discovery of novel fungal lineages and substrate associations.
