Abstract
During the current study on Withania somnifera Linn., the tissue specificity of endophytic fungi was investigated. A total of thirteen endophytes were isolated from various plant parts, including leaves, stems, and petioles. Species such as Alternaria alternata, Curvularia lunata, Fusarium oxysporum, Penicillium chrysogenum, Stachybotrys chartarum, and Stachybotrys nilgirica were found exclusively colonizing the leaf and petiole tissues of this host throughout the study period.”
