Fungal partner shifts during the evolution of mycoheterotrophy in Neottia
1 Sept 2016
Abstract excerpt
PREMISE OF THE STUDY: Few previous studies have examined how mycobionts change during the evolution from autotrophy to mycoheterotrophy based on phylogenetic hypotheses. Neottia (Orchidaceae) comprises leafy species that are autotrophic and related leafless mycoheterotrophic species, and the phylogenetic relationships among them have been clarified. Accordingly, Neottia is a suitable taxon for investigating the...
