Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are one of the important microbiota involved in a
relationship with plant roots in which the plants and fungi both share and exchange nutrients …

Since the first experiments in 1950s, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observations
of filamentous fungi have contributed extensively to understand their structure and to reveal …

Background Orchids require specific mycorrhizal associations for seed germination. During
symbiotic germination, the seed coat is the first point of fungal attachment, and whether the …

Biodiversity drives the maintenance and stability of ecosystem functioning as well as many
of nature's benefits to people, yet people cause substantial biodiversity change. Despite …

A 20-year study of a pine stand on post-agricultural land showed that woody debris in the
form of organic matter can be successfully used to restore symbiotic mycorrhizal …

Orchids are one of the most widespread plants inhabiting lands in almost all terrestrial
ecosystems. Most plants from the Orchidaceae family depend on specific mycorrhizal fungi …

The orchid–fungus relationship has been studied since the discovery that the minute seeds
of orchids depend on fungi to support the germination process. With the aim of describing …

Orchids highly rely on mycorrhizal fungi for seed germination, and compatible fungi could
effectively promote germination up to seedlings, while incompatible fungi may stimulate …

Abies religiosa's forests are severely endangered as a result of climate change; to save this
species and its biological interactions, population assisted migration is discussed in forest …

Mycorrhizae are associations between plants and beneficial fungi. They are the most active
components of the plant's nutrient absorption organs. On the other hand, soil …
