Abstract

Endophytic fungi are widely surveyed as novel bioresources symbiosis with graminous plants. We obtained choke bearing grasses Brachypodium sylvaticum (Huds.) P. Beauv. grown in Huangshan, Anhui in 2006. Mature stromata were developed on their culms and inflorescences, and obligately associated with host plants throughout areas higher than elevation of 1500 m. Nineteen fungal strains were isolated from those plants. Morphological characteristics of these fungal strains including colony, conidium and conidiophore, pertherium and asci, growth rate on PDA plate, host specificity, and phylogenetic characteristics based on tubB and tefA fragments were mostly coincident with Epichlo? sylvatica Leuchtm. et Schardl. These fungal characteristics of the Chinese origin E. sylvatica isolates were firstly documented in detail. The phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that E. sylvatica within Chinese B. sylvaticum is closely related with Japanese isolate, but different from European strains, indicating the geographic separation may play an important role in fungal evolution. Here we proposed Epichlo? sylvatica var. huangshanense for this separate variety.
