Community Structure Diversity of Endophytic Fungi in <i>Cissampelos pareira</i> from Different Habitats and Their α-Glucosidase Inhibitory Activity.

ABSTRACT: Cissampelos pareira is a medicinal plant with the potential effect of treating diabetes, commonly used by the Dai people in southern Yunnan Province. However, the wild resources of C. pareira are currently scarce. Endophytic fungi are a natural component of medicinal plants, while also serving as important repositories for discovering active natural products. In this study, we focused on 2-year-old C. pareira plants cultivated in potted and non-potted conditions. The community structure of endophytic fungi in the roots, stems, leaves, and flowers of two cultivation methods of C. pareira was investigated by using high-throughput sequencing (HTS) and traditional culture methods. Through HTS, we discover that the richness and diversity of endophytic fungi in C.
