 note = {We studied assemblages of endophytic fungi on the
halophilic plant Salicornia europaea in Japan. This
plant is disjunctively distributed in the eastern Hokkaido
and the Seto Inland Sea (Setouchi) regions.
Various dematiaceous fungi that form dark spores
and/or mycelia (and the related ascigerous stages)
were common in S. europaea. Among them, Pleospora
sp. (anamorph: Stemphylium) and Alternaria alternata
were the major endophytes found in the plant, followed
by Alternaria phragmospora and Cladosporium
cladosporioides. Fungal assemblages from Hokkaido
were similar among years, as were assemblages collected
in completely segregated regions in Japan,
Hokkaido and Setouchi. While such dematiaceous
fungi are generally known to be epiphytes living on
the surface of terrestrial vascular plants, they may
ubiquitously inhabit halophytes such as Salicornia.},
