- Plant-associated mycobiomes in extreme habitats are understudied and poorly understood. - We analysed Illumina-generated ITS1 sequences from the needle mycobiome of white spruce (Picea glauca) at the northern treeline in Alaska (USA). Sequences were obtained from the same DNA that was used for tre...
