Origins of potential mycorrhizal fungi (MF) or dark-septate endophytes (DSE) per host plant per site. A total of 539 root segments were analyzed from the 11 sites.
| Sitea | Host plant | Number of root segments analyzed | Number of isolates | Number of potential MF or DSEb |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | ARc | 90 | 73 | 2 |
| ACd | 84 | 53 | 3 | |
| B | AR | 29 | 17 | 4 |
| C | AR | 54 | 49 | 13 |
| D | AR | 22 | 20 | 4 |
| E | AR | 12 | 5 | 0 |
| AC | 27 | 26 | 0 | |
| F | AR | 34 | 29 | 6 |
| G | AR | 33 | 21 | 4 |
| H | AR | 7 | 1 | 0 |
| I | AR | 10 | 7 | 3 |
| J | AR | 15 | 0 | 0 |
| K | AR | 122 | 64 | 11 |
Site descriptions are in Table 1.
Identification of potential MF or DSE was determined by comparing the ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 region that was sequenced to previously sequenced fungi that are available at GenBank (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genbank).
Alnus incana ssp. rugosa.
Alnus alnobetula ssp. crispa.
