Popis: | We studied the diversity and biocontrol potential of 100 fungal endophytes isolated from Espeletia spp., endemic plant species from the Paramo in the Andean mountain range. Our sample was genotypically highly diverse at all ITS similarity levels. The antagonistic properties of these isolates were tested against common crop pathogens in Colombia, including Pectobacterium carotovorum, Ralstonia solanacearum, Pseudomonas syringae, Xanthomonas campestris, Rhizoctonia solani, Botrytis cinerea, Fusarium oxysporum, and Phytophthora infestans. All endophytic isolates were able to significantly inhibit the growth of at least one of the plant pathogens tested (P |
