According to our hypothesis, temporal heterogeneity due to seasonality (summer rosette vs. winter rosette) instead of spatial heterogeneity, showed higher influence on both the community and the infection rate of endophytes present in the carnivorous plant Pinguicula moranensis. In addition, the infection rate of endophytic fungi isolated from roots was higher than that observed in leaves although the endophytic community was similar between both tissues. Overall, we isolated endophytic fungi members of Dothideomycetes, Leotimocyetes, Eurotiomycetes and Sordariomycetes. P. moranensis harbors at least 10 genera, seven of them (Astrocystis sp., Bipolaris sp., Cercospora sp., Coniochaeta sp., Ijuhya sp., Neomollisia sp. and Ochroconis sp.) reported for the first time in carnivorous plants. We advanced some implications about the role that these endophytes could be playing in this carnivorous plant, illustrating a certain level of specificity in the endophytic community of fungi present in leaves and roots.

根据我们的假设，由于季节性（夏季莲座丛与冬季莲座丛）而不是空间异质性导致的时间异质性对食肉植物Pinguicula moranensis 中存在的内生菌群落和感染率的影响更大。此外，从根中分离出的内生真菌感染率高于在叶中观察到的感染率，尽管两种组织之间的内生群落相似。总体而言，我们分离了 Dothideomycetes、Leotimocyetes、Eurotiomycetes 和 Sordariomycetes 的内生真菌成员。P. Moranensis至少有 10 个属，其中有七个（Astrocystis sp., Bipolaris sp., Cercospora sp., Coniochaetasp., Ijuhya sp., Neomollisia sp. 和Ochroconis sp.) 首次在食肉植物中报道。我们对这些内生菌在这种食肉植物中可能发挥的作用提出了一些启示，说明了叶和根中存在的真菌内生群落具有一定程度的特异性。
