Approximately 10% of vascular plants are epiphytes and, even though this has long been ignored in past research, able to interact with a variety fungi, including mycorrhizal taxa. However, the structure fungal communities on bark, as well their relationship epiphytic plants, is largely unknown. To fill gap, we conducted environmental metabarcoding ITS-2 region understand spatial bark tropical trees, focus orchid and tested influence root proximity. For all guilds, were more similar when...
The genus Tulasnella often forms mycorrhizas with orchids and has worldwide distribution. Species of this are associated a wide range orchids, including endangered hosts. Initially, species identification relied mostly on morphological features few cultures were preserved for later phylogenetic comparisons. In study, total 50 isolates collected from their natural sites in Minas Gerais, Brazil, cultured, subjected to analysis based alignments sequences the internal transcribed spacer (ITS)...
Species from Ceratobasidium are known as orchid mycorrhizal, plant pathogens or saprophytic. In mycorrhizal association with orchids, can establish a highly specific interaction. Gomesa recurva is an epiphytic occurring in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. present study fungi were isolated roots of G. and its phylogenetic positions was investigated. A total nine isolates obtained directly pelotons submitted to analysis based on alignments sequences internal transcribed spacer (ITS) nuclear...
