Abstract:
Objective To explore the ectomycorrhizae types and relationship with forest stands at Leigong Mountain Nature Reserve, and to study the ectomycorrhizae in four preponderant forest stands.
Method The methods of random sampling and rDNA ITS sequencing were applied in this study.
Result The results showed that seven types of genus Tomentella were determined by phenotype with brown morphotypes that was similar with genus Tomentella, and the results was verified by rDNA ITS sequencing, . Six of them were identified as T. badia, T. fuscocinerea, T. atramentaria, T. lapida, T. ramosissima and T. terrestris, respectively.
Conclusion This research is the first report that the genus Tomentella was found at Leigong Mountain Nature Reserve, so the results will benefit for next research at commensalism and function with four preponderant forest stands at Leigong Mountain Nature Reserve.
