“…A total of 56 EMF OTUs belonging to 20 families and 22 genera were identified. The OTU richness of Basidiomycota was significantly higher than that of Ascomycota, which is consistent with previous studies on other Pinaceae species [32,33], reflecting the dominant position of Basidiomycota EMF in the pine forest ecosystem. Unclassified Helotiales, Russula, Lactarius, and Tomentella were the dominant groups in the P. massoniana EMF community in the MpAHs.…”

Tree species composition in forest ecosystems is an important biological factor affecting the diversity of ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF). However, little is known about the composition and diversity of EMF communities associated with Pinus massoniana in different P. massoniana association habitats (MpAHs) in subtropical mountains. This study investigated the EMF community characteristics of P. massoniana in different MpAHs using plant community surveys, soil property analyses, and mycorrhizal identification. A total of 56 operational taxonomic units (OTUs), belonging to 20 families and 22 genera, were identified. OTU richness of Basidiomycota (58.93%) was higher than that of Ascomycota (41.07%). Unclassified Helotiales, Russula, Lactarius, and Tomentella were the dominant groups. Different stand types significantly altered the EMF communities of P. massoniana (p < 0.05, for Shannon index) and the associations of P. massoniana + Populus adenopoda (Mp_Pa) had the highest diversity of EMF, while P. massoniana + Cunninghamia lanceolata (Mp_Cl) had the lowest diversity. The number of specific OTUs was higher than shared OTUs. Similarity index and principal coordinate analysis indicated that the EMF communities of P. massoniana varied significantly in different MpAHs (R2 = 0.21, p = 0.001). The linear regression model showed that the EMF diversity of P. massoniana was positively related to tree species diversity, indicating that the EMF diversity of P. massoniana is influenced by tree species diversity. The findings provide a reasonable reference for tree species configuration in the process of mixed transformation or near-natural management of plantations.

“…Functional fungi, such as EMF, AMF, and PPF, are abundant in soils. Among them, EMF amount to hundreds of species, including Boletus , Clavulina , Cortinarius , Russula , Sebacinaceae , and Tomentella ( 48 ). The trees with ectomycorrhizal roots include Quercus , Pinus , Tilia , Juglans , and Betula ( 49 ).…”

“…Fully mycoheterotrophic orchids uptake organic carbon and essential nutrients from their mycorrhizal fungi that concurrently liaise with surrounding trees, thus forming tripartite symbiotic associations [ 55 – 57 ]. In this system, green trees are ultimate energy sources, and subsequently shape their microflora [ 55 , 58 ]. As a consequence, diversity and composition of mycorrhizal symbionts at the local-scale vary substantially along with changes in forest dominant trees [ 56 , 59 , 60 ].…”

Background Mycoheterotrophs, acquiring organic carbon and other nutrients from mycorrhizal fungi, have evolved repeatedly with substantial plastid genome (plastome) variations. To date, the fine-scale evolution of mycoheterotrophic plastomes at the intraspecific level is not well-characterized. A few studies have revealed unexpected plastome divergence among species complex members, possibly driven by various biotic/abiotic factors. To illustrate evolutionary mechanisms underlying such divergence, we analyzed plastome features and molecular evolution of 15 plastomes of Neottia listeroides complex from different forest habitats. Results These 15 samples of Neottia listeroides complex split into three clades according to their habitats approximately 6 million years ago: Pine Clade, including ten samples from pine-broadleaf mixed forests, Fir Clade, including four samples from alpine fir forests and Fir-willow Clade with one sample. Compared with those of Pine Clade members, plastomes of Fir Clade members show smaller size and higher substitution rates. Plastome size, substitution rates, loss and retention of plastid-encoded genes are clade-specific. We propose to recognized six species in N. listeroides complex and slightly modify the path of plastome degradation. Conclusions Our results provide insight into the evolutionary dynamics and discrepancy of closely related mycoheterotrophic orchid lineages at a high phylogenetic resolution.
