Abstract Premise Detailed studies of the fungi associated with lycophytes and ferns provide crucial insights into the early evolution of land plants. However, most investigations to date have assessed fern–fungus interactions based only on visual root inspection. In the present research, we establish and evaluate a metabarcoding protocol to analyze the fungal communities associated with fern and lycophyte roots. Methods We used two primer pairs focused on the ITS rRNA region to screen the general fungal communities, and the 18S rRNA to target Glomeromycota fungi (i.e., arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi). To test these approaches, we collected and processed roots from 12 phylogenetically distant fern and lycophyte species. Results We found marked compositional differences between the ITS and 18S data sets. While the ITS data set demonstrated the dominance of orders Glomerales (phylum Glomeromycota), Pleosporales, and Helotiales (both in phylum Ascomycota), the 18S data set revealed the greatest diversity of Glomeromycota. Non‐metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) ordination suggested an important geographical effect in sample similarities. Discussion The ITS‐based approach is a reliable and effective method to analyze the fungal communities associated with fern and lycophyte roots. The 18S approach is more appropriate for studies focused on the detailed screening of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. |
