DIVERSITY OF MICROBIALFUNGI IN SELECTEDMEDICINAL PLANTS

Biosciences

Medicinal plants are relatively less attacked by the plant pathogens and pests, therefore endophytic micro-biota can be of great value in protecting plants from pests. Lookingit in to this opportunity, endophytic fungal diversity of Indian medicinal plants for their potential to application in plant protection. In these endeavor, bioactive endophytic fungi have been isolated from Indian medicinal plants. As microorganisms play a central role in the regulation of ecosystem processes, and they comprises the vast majority of species on Earth. Here we examine these revolutions in our understanding of microbial. Plant micro biome is less studied for its beneficial uses for human being. Since they exist in close association with the plants, they can offer great potential for the welfare of the plants provided that their presence does not have any adverse effect on the plant .They take nourishment from the plant and in turn provide protection from biotic and abiotic stresses. Almost all vascular plants examined till date shows some endophytic fungi in some parts of their life cycle. Present paper included with 15 selected medicinal plants belonging to 13 different families.
