Fungal Endophytes Associated With the Actinorhizal Plant Species, Elaeagnus Latifolia L. (Elaeagnaceae) And Evaluating Their Antagonistic Potential Against Grey Blight Disease In Tea [Camellia Sinensis (L.) O. Kuntze]: A Novel Study From North-East India
Abstract:The present investigation is a novel approach of exploring the endophytic fungal diversity of Elaeagnus latifolia L., an actinorhizal plant species of North-east India and evaluation of its biocontrol potential against Pestalotiopsis theae, the causal agent of grey blight disease in tea. A total of 17 endophytic fungal species belonging to 12 families and 03 orders were isolated from various parts of E. latifolia L. Isolates were identified based on colony morphology, spore and fruiting bodies using microscopi… Show more
