Endophytische Pilze in Blättern und Zweigen von Quercus petraea

Abstract

Abstract Endophytic fungi in leaves and twigs of Quercus petraea . Surface sterilized leaf and twig samples taken in 1989 from sessile oak ( Quercus petraea ) in Austria yielded host‐specific as well as unspecific ubiquistic endophytes. In leaves, Aureobasidium apocryptum and Apiognomonia quercina were the most frequent taxa, while Colpoma quercinum was the dominant species in twigs. The colonization rates of individual species were subjected to seasonal variation.
