Fungal Diversity in the Soil of the Oxytropis glacialis Root System on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

ABSTRACT: Because of swainonine-producing endophytic fungal, Oxytropis glacialis is one of the main poisonous weeds in the alpine grassland and desert grassland of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP). It has a severe impact on grassland degradation on the QTP. In this manuscript, the Internally Transcribed Spacer (ITS) region of fungal communities in the soil of the O. glacialis root system was sequenced by high-throughput sequencing and analyzed by bioinformatics methods. The physical and chemical properties of the soil samples were analyzed in combination with the fungal diversity and its relationship with the soil physical and chemical factors. The results showed that the soil fungal community in the O. glacialis root system are rich in diversity in different ecological environme
