Orchids are among the most endangered in the plant kingdom. Lack of endosperm in their
seeds renders orchids to depend on nutrients provided by orchid mycorrhizal fungi (OMF) for …

Eutrophication is caused by excess nitrate and other nutrient exported via stormwater runoff
to surface waters, which is projected to increase as a result of climate change. Despite …

In the face of climate change, progressive degradation of the environment, including
agricultural land negatively affecting plant growth and development, endangers plant …

PREMISE The inference of evolutionary relationships in the species‐rich family Orchidaceae
has hitherto relied heavily on plastid DNA sequences and limited taxon sampling. Previous …

Environmental conditions are becoming increasingly challenging in managed ecosystems,
especially in agricultural fields, where environmentally friendly solutions are urgently …

from more than 100 years of mycorrhizal research 983 III. Mycorrhizal fungi in the 'omics' era …

Orchids depend on mycorrhizal fungi to germinate from seed. While multiple orchid
mycorrhizal (OrM) taxa are often found associated with adult orchids, the relative …

Mycorrhizae are ubiquitous symbioses established between fungi and plant roots. Orchids,
in particular, require compatible mycorrhizal fungi for seed germination and protocorm …

Mycorrhizas play an important role in plant growth and development. In mycorrhizal
symbioses, fungi supply soil mineral nutrients, such as nitrogen and phosphorus, to their …

Mycorrhizal associations between fungi and plant roots have globally significant impacts on
nutrient cycling. Mucoromycotina 'fine root endophytes'(MFRE) are a distinct and recently …
