TI  - Isolation and identification of an arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus specifically 
      associated with mycoheterotrophic seedlings of Gentiana zollingeri

AB  - Gentiana zollingeri (Gentianaceae) is an initial mycoheterotrophic plant that 
      depends on a specific group of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi for carbon 
      source during underground growth after seed germination. In this study, a 
      mycorrhizal fungus dominant in mycoheterotrophic seedlings of G. zollingeri was 
      successfully isolated from a soil core collected from a point close to a 
      flowering G. zollingeri. The AM fungal isolate was identified as conspecific or 
      closely related to Dominikia aurea (Glomeraceae) by spore morphology and 
      molecular phylogeny. Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) searches against 
      the MaarjAM database showed that the nuclear small subunit ribosomal DNA 
      sequences of the isolate matched the AM fungal sequences obtained from a wide 
      range of plants in various ecosystems, including several mycoheterotrophs. Thus, 
      it is suggested that the AM fungal isolate is one of the cheating susceptible AM 
      fungi. Furthermore, the sequences corresponded to those of a group of AM fungi 
      dominantly detected in Japanese temperate forests. Accordingly, there is a 
      possibility that mycoheterotrophic plants, including seedlings of G. zollingeri, 
      may target AM fungi with a wide host range and ubiquitous distribution.
