title: [Isolation and identification of endophytes from Pinellia].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the varieties of entophytes in different parts of Pinellia ternata.
  
  
  METHODS
  The solidified plates were applied for the isolation of the endophytes, and three methods were used for the identification of endophytic fungi.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Eighty four strains of the entophytes were isolated from the P. ternata collected from 3 habitations. Endophytic fungi were morphologically identified belonging to 15 genera, 4 families.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  It indicated that the entophytes in P. ternata were diversity and rich, and there were some differences at quantity and species in different organs of P. ternata.
