Abstract: Endophytic fungal strains were isolated from the sterilized roots of a medicinal plant,Ligusticum chuanxiong and identified based on morphological characteristics and molecular analysis of internal transcribed spacer, large subunit rDNA, and beta-tubulin DNA regions. Our results confirmed the presence of SPithomyces chartarum and Plectosphaerella niemeijerarum in the fungal strains. To the best of our knowledge, the fungal strains have not been reported in Korea. In this report, we describe morphological characteristics and phylogenetic trees of these endophytic fungal strains.
