Orchids are associated with diverse fungal taxa, including nonmycorrhizal endophytic fungi
as well as mycorrhizal fungi. The orchid mycorrhizal (OM) symbiosis is an excellent model …

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 …

Orchids form mycorrhizal symbioses with fungi in natural habitats that affect their seed
germination, protocorm growth, and adult nutrition. An increasing number of studies …

Orchid mycorrhizas are mutualistic interactions between fungi and members of the
Orchidaceae, the world's largest plant family. The majority of the world's orchids are …

Main conclusion Orchid mycorrhiza has been often interpreted as an antagonistic
relationship. Our data on mycorrhizal protocorms do not support this view as plant defence …

Abstract Background The Orchidaceae is one of the largest families in the plant kingdom
and orchid mycorrhizae (OM) are indispensable in the life cycle of all orchids under natural …

Achlorophylous and early developmental stages of chorolophylous orchids are highly
dependent on carbon and other nutrients provided by mycorrhizal fungi, in a nutritional …

Orchid mycorrhizas (OM) are symbiotic interactions between fungi and terrestrial, epiphytic
or lithophytic species of the Orchidaceae. In the association, fungal hyphae enter …

Scientific interest in orchid mycorrhizas, the symbiotic association between orchid roots and
fungi, continues to grow. Advances in molecular identification techniques have enabled the …

Mutualistic symbioses between plants and fungi are a widespread phenomenon in nature.
Particularly in orchids, association with symbiotic fungi is required for seed germination and …
