Plant specimens were collected from Khuzestan province of Iran. Taxonomically verified using morphological keys and herbarium comparisons. Endophytic fungi were isolated from root and lower stem tissues. A total of 35 fungal isolates were obtained, with a majority (74%) derived from root tissues. Fungal genomic DNA was extracted, and internal transcribed spacer and large subunit rRNA regions were amplified and sequenced for molecular identification. Sequence analysis revealed dominance of Ascomycota (97.14%), particularly within the Dothideomycetes and Sordariomycetes classes; Pleosporales and Hypocreales orders; Pleosporaceae and Nectriaceae families. The most common genera were Fusarium (40%) and Alternaria (37.14%). Phylogenetic analysis based on the Maximum Likelihood approach identified a total of 21 distinct fungal species. Among these, Alternaria alstroemeriae and Alternaria angustiovoidea were the only taxa recovered from both root and aerial tissues, suggesting a degree of tissue specificity among the endophytic community. Root tissues harbored greater fungal diversity relative to aerial parts, highlighting differential colonization patterns. The dataset encompasses both previously recognized and novel fungal associations, thereby substantially advancing current knowledge of endophytic interactions within the genus Salvia. Except for Fusarium avenaceum, Fusarium redolens, and Phoma herbarum, the remaining 18 taxa represent new records for the genus. Moreover, several species including Fusarium hostae, Alternaria conjuncta, Alternaria malorum, Cladosporium cucumerinum, Diaporthe ambiguea, and Xenodidymella camporesii are reported here, to the best of our knowledge, for the first time as endophytes in any plant host. 2025 true true true false false NONE 2026-05-18 false 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 Q1 false false false false 2026-02-15T15:14:47.540+0000 7 44 0 5 0 true Language 10002 /api/language/10002 English Angol English true 2 true PersonAuthorship 128525421 /api/authorship/128525421 Rashedi, Haniyeh 1 0.2 true false false Rashedi Haniyeh true false false AuthorshipType 1 /api/authorshiptype/1 Author 0 true 0 true false true PersonAuthorship 128525422 /api/authorship/128525422 Ganjeali, Ali ✉ 2 0.2 false false true Ganjeali Ali true false false AuthorshipType 1 /api/authorshiptype/1 Author 0 true 0 true false true PersonAuthorship 128525423 /api/authorship/128525423 Asili, Javad 3 0.2 false false false Asili Javad true false false AuthorshipType 1 /api/authorshiptype/1 Author 0 true 0 true false true PersonAuthorship 128525424 /api/authorship/128525424 Tazick, Zahra 4 0.2 false false false Tazick Zahra true false false AuthorshipType 1 /api/authorshiptype/1 Author 0 true 0 true false true PersonAuthorship 128525425 /api/authorship/128525425 Shakeri, Abolfaz 5 0.2 false true false Shakeri Abolfaz true false false AuthorshipType 1 /api/authorshiptype/1 Author 0 true 0 true false true PublicationIdentifier 30173921 /api/publicationidentifier/30173921 DOI: 10.1007/s13199-025-01094-7 PlainSource 6 /api/publicationsource/6 DOI PublicationSourceType 10001 /api/publicationsourcetype/10001 DOI true true true DOI DOI https://doi.org/@@@ true true 6 true IDENTICAL 10.1007/s13199-025-01094-7 https://doi.org/10.1007/s13199-025-01094-7 false true PublicationIdentifier 30173922 /api/publicationidentifier/30173922 WoS: 001610505300001 PlainSource 1 /api/publicationsource/1 WoS PublicationSourceType 10003 /api/publicationsourcetype/10003 Indexelő adatbázis false true true WoS WoS https://www.webofscience.com/wos/woscc/full-record/@@@ true true 1 true IDENTICAL 001610505300001 https://www.webofscience.com/wos/woscc/full-record/001610505300001 false true Keyword 1011591 /api/keyword/1011591 Lamiaceae true 1011591 true Keyword 1506895 /api/keyword/1506895 Mycobiome true true Keyword 1570321 /api/keyword/1570321 plant-microbe interaction true true SjrRating 11552908 /api/sjrrating/11552908 sjr:Q1 (2025) Scopus - Agricultural and Biological Sciences (miscellaneous) SYMBIOSIS 0334-5114 1878-7665 110 0.24 journal RatingType 10002 /api/ratingtype/10002 sjr sjr true true ClassificationExternal 1101 /api/classificationexternal/1101 Scopus - Agricultural and Biological Sciences (miscellaneous) true 1101 true Q1 DIRECT true true /api/publication/36439906 Rashedi Haniyeh et al.
