| Research Abstract |
Endophytic fungi were isolated from mangrove trees in the Ryukyu Islands. The young shoot was dominated by a few species, common fungi in the neighboring terrestrial forests. There were many other species isolated from the shoot, which characterized the flora of mangrove endophytes. Various fungi were also isolated from both unexposed young seeds and exposed hypocotyl of the matured propagule on the mother tree. Terrestrial forest behind mangrove and propagules were shown to play an important role to supply endophytic fungi to mangrove trees.
