Abstract:Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi form symbiotic associations with 80% of all known plants, allowing the fungi to acquire plant-synthesized carbon, and confer an increased capacity for nutrient uptake by plants, improving tolerance to abiotic and biotic stresses. We aimed to characterize the mycorrhizal community associated with Neoglaziovia variegata (so-called `caroa`) and Tripogonella spicata (so-called resurrection plant) using high-throughput sequencing of the partial 18S rRNA gene. Both endemic plants to neot… Show more
