Diversity of endophytic fungi in the roots of Cremastra appendiculata (Orchidaceae) at different altitudes in Taibaishan Nature Reserve,Central China

Cremastra appendiculata roots were collected from Haoping Station of Taibaishan Nature Reserve. The cultivable fungi were isolated from the pelotons and roots, and the fungal ITS sequences were used for molecular identification. The community diversity of endophytic fungi in the roots were analyzed by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) to evaluate the influence of different altitudes (1 177m, 1 409m and 1 590m) and the physical and chemical properties of rhizosphere soil in the same habitat on the diversity of endophytic fungi in the roots of C. appendiculata. The result was that 79 fungal isolates were identified as 19 species. Ascomycetes were dominant including two species of Dothideomycetes and 17 species of Sordariomycetes. Among them, 12 taxa belonged to orchid mycorrhizal fungi. In total, 80 fungal bands were detected by DGGE. Alternaria alternata, Ilyonectria destructans and Trichoderma spp. were obtained by culture method. In addition, three species of basidiomycetes, which were not detected by culture method, were newly detected by DGGE. The diversity of fungal community was related to altitude and significantly affected by nitrate nitrogen and available phosphorus in the rhizosphere soil. With the increase of altitude, the fungal richness and the Shannon-winner index decreased, while the Simpson index increased. This study provided a foundation for the further exploration of orchid mycorrhizal fungi in this area and a reference for artificial breeding of C. appendiculata.
