Mixotrophic plants obtain carbon by their own photosynthetic activity and from their root-associated mycorrhizal fungi. Mixotrophy is deemed a pre-adaptation for evolution of mycoheterotrophic nutrition, where plants fully depend on fungi and lose their photosynthetic activity. The aim of this study was to clarify mycorrhizal dependency and heterotrophy level in various phenotypes of mixotrophicPyrola japonica(Ericaceae), encompassing green individuals, rare achlorophyllous variants (albinos) and a form with minute leaves,P. japonicaf.subaphylla. These three phenotypes were collected in two Japanese forests. Phylogenetic analysis of both plants and mycorrhizal fungi was conducted based on DNA barcoding. Enrichment in13C among organs (leaves, stems and roots) of the phenotypes with reference plants and fungal fruitbodies were compared by measuring stable carbon isotopic ratio. All plants were placed in the same clade, with f.subaphyllaas a separate subclade. Leaf13C abundances of albinos were congruent with a fully mycoheterotrophic nutrition, suggesting that greenP. japonicaleaves are 36.8% heterotrophic, while rhizomes are 74.0% heterotrophic. There were no significant differences in δ13C values among organs in both albinoP. japonicaandP. japonicaf.subaphylla, suggesting full and high mycoheterotrophic nutrition, respectively. Among 55 molecular operational taxonomic units (OTUs) detected as symbionts, the genusRussulawas the most abundant in each phenotype and its dominance was significantly higher in albinoP. japonicaandP. japonicaf.subaphylla.Russulaspp. detected inP. japonicaf.subaphyllashowed higher dissimilarity with other phenotypes. These results suggest thatP. japonicasensu lato is prone to evolve mycoheterotrophic variants, in a process that changes its mycorrhizal preferences, especially towards the genusRussulafor which this species has a marked preference.
