• Fatty acid signatures distinguish autotrophy, partial mycoheterotrophy, and full mycoheterotrophy in angiosperms (2026) · Mycorrhiza · doi

  Establishing how widespread partial mycoheterotrophy is among green plants is important for understanding the ecology and evolution of mycorrhizal symbioses. Further research is needed to distinguish transfer through common mycorrhizal networks from alternative pathways. Investigating the mechanisms underlying the observed differentiation in fatty acid composition.
