Suaeda species are annual halophytes growing in soils with high salinity and high concentration of irons where non-halophytes are unable to thrive. It might be expected that the endophytic fungi of Suaeda species might help their host to resist the environmental stress. Endophytic fungal communities associated with stems and leaves of healthy S. microphylla and S. corniculata plants were determined from June to October in 2009. The plants were growing in alkaline land in Songyuan City, Jilin Province in China. Endophytic fungal composition varied between the two plants, however Alternaria spp. and Phoma spp. colonized both plant species. The fungal diversity and colonization rate were highest in September. Different fungal species inhabited different tissues and a few species were overlapping between stems and leaves. Although species of Phoma chrysanthemicola were isolated from both stem and leaves in September, the isolation frequency in stems was significantly higher than in leaves. Pigmented dematiaceous endophytic fungi were particularly common in the halophytes and they may play an important ecological role for survival and stress resistance of the plant species.
