Abstract

This study was done to analyze effects of leaves age of mate collected in cultivated and native plants, on the endophytic fungal population. Diversity of endophytic fungi in old leaves was higher than in young leaves. Diversity was also higher in native plants, with an abundant microbiota, probably in consequence of a shadowed and humid environment, very different than in agroecosystems. Plants of native mate showed genera of fungi with potential for biocontrol that should be tested on its ability to induce protection against insects and diseases.
