A direct antagonisms on PDA medium. Antagonism assays among LPFs: 4 mm fungal plugs were placed 3 cm at distance and cultured at 28°C in darkness. The image was taken at the 7th day.A) interaction between IL and PC, B) interactions between IL and UFS, C) interactions between UFS and PC. IL – I. liriodendri, UFS – an unidentified fungal sp., PC – P. citrinum.

Effects of IL, UFS, and PC on H. cordata rhizome phenolic compounds including A) chlorogenic acid, B) rutin, C) afzelin, D) isoquercitrin, and E) quercitin in H. cordata. IL – I. liriodendri, UFS – an unidentified fungal sp., PC – P. citrinum. There not the quercetin concentrations in the Figure because quercetin was not detected in any of the H. cordata rhizome samples. Any two samples in the same column with different letters were significantly different (p < 0.05).
