Distinct but Closely Related Sebacinales form Mycorrhizae with Coexisting Ericaceae and Orchidaceae in a Neotropical Mountain Area

Part of the book series: Soil Biology ((SOILBIOL,volume 33))

Abstract

Sebacinales form mycorrhizae with a variety of plant families including Ericaceae and Orchidaceae. Structurally, these mutual associations are quite distinct, with specific structures largely depending on the individual plant family. Many plants that are associated with Sebacinales occur in the same habitats and it has been questioned whether they share a common pool of mycobionts or are associated with different Sebacinales guilds.

This chapter presents a study of Sebacinales associated with coexisting Ericaceae and Orchidaceae from two different habitats; pristine forest and regenerating landslides in a tropical mountain rain forest in South Ecuador. The structural distinctness of mycorrhizal associations in Ericaceae and Orchidaceae formed by Sebacinales is presented, and evidence that different guilds are associated with both plant families is given. Phylogenetic relationships of these Sebacinales on higher and lower taxonomic levels are illustrated and discussed in an evolutionary context. In addition, this chapter addresses community analyses based on a phylogenetic concept, a promising approach used in the field of ecology and evolution of microorganisms.
