Foliar endophytic diversity of Centella asiatica (L.) urban in relation to different seasons and leaf age

Fungal endophytes are a rich source of bioactive metabolites profoundly influencing plant health and ecology. Endofungal diversity depends heavily on the biotic characters of the host and its abiotic growth conditions. To assess and bioprospect endofungal diversity in plants, it is essential to understand these factors. In the present study, isolation and assessment of colonization frequency of endophytic fungi was studied in young and mature leaves of an important medicinal herb viz., Centella asiatica L. Urban in summer, rainy and winter seasons.
