Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo study the effect of endophytic fungi.
METHODA. formosanus, harvested after having been cultured for age, statistics were taken, fresh weight and dry weight were gained, and enzyme activities of chitinase, beta-1,3-glucase, phenylalanine ammonia-lyase and polyphenoloxidase were determined.
RESULTThe survial rates of A. formosanus inoculated with endophytic fungi was 100%. The effect of fungi on fresh weight was very significant (P < 0.01). The effect of fungi on dry weight was significant (P > 0.05). The four enzyme activities were enhanced by endophytic fungi, comparision with the controls.
CONCLUSIONSurvial rates of A. formosanus can be increased by using endophytic fungi in vitro culture.
