<br/><br/> <br/><br/>ABSTRACT<br/><br/>Peroba rosa (Aspidosperma polyneuron) is a native forest species endangered due to intense predatory<br/>exploitation. The objective of this study was to evaluate the association and fungi transmission<br/>in peroba rosa seeds from four regions of Paraná. Germination and vigor were evaluated using<br/>the paper roll method. Sanitary analysis consisted of the detection of endophytic and epiphytic<br/>fungi using potato-dextrose-agar medium and Fusarium selective medium. For  transmission,<br/>non‑disinfested seeds were sown in vermiculite and kept in greenhouse. Germination ranged from<br/>9.3% to 60%. Fusarium sp. and Phomopsis sp. were found as epiphytic and also as endophytic.<br/>There was transmission of Fusarium sp. and Phomopsis sp. from seeds to seedlings, causing<br/>malformation and necrosis on roots and cotyledons.<br/><br/>Keywords: seed pathology, native forest seeds, endophytic fungi.
