Endophytic fungi occupy inner plant tissues, which results in various interactions between the fungus and host. Studies on endophytic fungi have been conducted in Korea for over 30 years. This paper summarizes the published results of those studies. The endophytic fungi of approximately 132 plant species in Korea have been studied since the 1990s, resulting in over 118 publications. The host plants featured in these studies comprised 3 species of mosses, 34 species of woody plants, and 95 species of herbaceous plants. At the family level, the most studied plants were members of the Poaceae family, covering 18 species. Regionally, these studies were conducted throughout Korea, but over half of the studies were conducted in Gyeongsangbuk-do, Gangwon-do, and Chungcheongnam-do. Relatively few studies have been conducted in a metropolis such as Seoul. We confirmed 5 phyla, 16 classes, 49 orders, 135 families, 305 genera, and 855 taxa of endophytic fungi, excluding , whose relationship with others are unknown. Most of the endophytic fungi belonged to Ascomycota (93.2%), and a few belonged to Basidiomycota (3.6%). Since the diversity of endophytic fungi differs depending on the host plant, plant tissue, and distribution region, future studies should be conducted on multiple host plants and in various regions. Future studies on endophytic fungi are expected to broaden, including genomics and taxonomic and ecological studies of secondary metabolites.
内生真菌占据植物内部组织，这导致了真菌与宿主之间的各种相互作用。在韩国，对内生真菌的研究已经开展了30多年。本文总结了这些研究的已发表成果。自20世纪90年代以来，韩国约132种植物的内生真菌已被研究，产生了118篇以上的出版物。这些研究中的宿主植物包括3种苔藓植物、34种木本植物和95种草本植物。在科的层面上，研究最多的植物是禾本科植物，涵盖18种。在区域方面，这些研究在韩国各地进行，但超过一半的研究是在庆尚北道、江原道和忠清南道进行的。在首尔这样的大都市进行的研究相对较少。我们确认了5个门、16个纲、49个目、135个科、305个属和855个内生真菌分类单元，不包括那些与其他分类单元关系不明的。大多数内生真菌属于子囊菌门（93.2%），少数属于担子菌门（3.6%）。由于内生真菌的多样性因宿主植物、植物组织和分布区域而异，未来的研究应在多种宿主植物和不同区域进行。预计未来对内生真菌的研究将会拓宽，包括次生代谢产物的基因组学、分类学和生态学研究。
