Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation Markedly fewer fungal OTUs were associated with the roots (3465) than with the rhizosphere (5221) of three Paphiopedilum species.
- Observation Fungal communities of roots and rhizosphere soils differed significantly among the three Paphiopedilum species.
- Observation The number of mycorrhizal fungi in roots (226) was lower than in the rhizosphere (259).
- Observation Paphiopedilum micranthum harbored the greatest diversity of associated fungi compared with the other two species.
- Observation Tulasnella and Sebacina are well-known orchid mycorrhizal fungi forming essential symbiotic structures.
