Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Mycoheterotrophy is a nutritional strategy in which plants obtain carbon and essential nutrients from fungal partners. Comparative studies of closely related taxa differing in mycoheterotrophic dependence offer important insights into the evolutionary transitions underlying this lifestyle. METHODS: We integrated stable isotope (δ13C and δ15N) analyses, MIG-seq (multiplexed ISSR genotyping by...
