Description
34,564 amplicon sequence variants (ASVs) were detected in root-associated samples from Wenshan Prefecture, accounting for 87.76% of the total. The dataset compares fungal community diversity and composition in the root-endosphere and rhizosphere soil of the endangered orchid Cypripedium subtropicum across different regions, habitats, and population types in Yunnan Province. It was created by Mei Hua and last updated on June 3, 2026.
Use Cases
Compare fungal community diversity between root-endosphere and rhizosphere soil based on the described Illumina sequencing results.
Identify core fungal species like Mortierella sp. and Fusarium solani across different regions for conservation planning.
Analyze regional variations in dominant fungi (e.g., Mortierella in Wenshan, Fusarium in Kunming) based on the habitat-driven patterns described.
Assess differences in fungal richness and diversity between wild, introduced, and seed-propagated populations as mentioned for Malipo and Kunming.
Strengths
Data is derived from Illumina Novaseq high-throughput sequencing, a standard method for microbial community analysis.
Analysis covers 120 samples from 12 different habitats, providing a multi-habitat comparison.
The study quantifies shared fungal ASVs, identifying three shared between root compartments across all samples.
Limitations
Row count and specific column-level documentation are absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
The dataset is very small at 18.2 KB, indicating limited scope, likely containing summary or analysis results rather than raw sequence data.
