Abstract
Plant growth-promoting endophytic fungi with gibberellin-producing ability were isolated from the roots of Carex kobomugi Ohwi, a common sand-dune plant, and bioassayed for plant growth-promotion. A new strain, Arthrinium phaeospermum KACC43901, promoted growth of waito-c rice and Atriplex gemelinii. Analysis of its culture filtrate showed the presence of bioactive GA1 (0.5 ng/ml), GA3 (8.8 ng/ml), GA4 (4.7 ng/ml) and GA 7 (2.2 ng/ml) along with physiologically inactive GA5 (0.4 ng/ml), GA9 (0.6 ng/ml), GA12 (0.4 ng/ml), GA 15 (0.4 ng/ml), GA19 (0.9 ng/ml) and GA24 (1.8 ng/ml). The fungal isolate was identified through sequence homology and phylogenetic analysis of 18S rDNA (internal transcribed region).
