  Seasonal and habitat dependent variations in the endophytes of Camellia sinensis are investigated in this study. Stems and leaves of C. sinensis from naked and under-forestry tea garden have been collected for isolating endophytic fungi in January, April and October, respectively, as different seasons. Twenty-one endophytic species including a new species, are observed in this study. It is confirmed that species in under-forestry tea garden are more related to the naked tea garden. However, both habitats have similar evenness indices and Shannon-Wiener indices. Shannon-Wiener indices in spring are highest in all compared seasons. The diversity of species in stem is higher than in leaf. In all seasons, the evenness indices are slightly higher in leaf than stem. The number of endophytic fungi in autumn is the smallest, while the largest in winter. Furthermore, the frequencies of Neurosp.. View More»
