Mycorrhizal associations, by which most land plants receive mineral nutrition, are diffuse
and often non-specific. A common mycorrhizal network is formed when fungal mycelia …

Arbuscular (AM) and orchid (OrM) mycorrhiza are the most widespread mycorrhizal
symbioses among flowering plants, formed by distinct fungal and plant species. They are …

Almost all plants are engaged in symbiotic relationships with mycorrhizal fungi. These soil
fungi can promote plant growth by supplying limiting nutrients to plant roots in return for plant …

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

Systems and methods are disclosed for communicating data in an integrated sensor network
having one or more nodes coupled to an optical sensor network and a radio frequency …

There is increasing awareness that many terrestrial and aquatic organisms are not strictly
heterotrophic or autotrophic but rather mixotrophic. Mixotrophy is an intermediate nutritional …

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 …

Most terrestrial plants establish symbiotic associations with mycorrhizal fungi for accessing
essential plant nutrients. Mycorrhizal fungi have been frequently reported to interconnect …

Several green, photosynthetic plants in orchids and Ericaceae were recently found to
recover carbon from the mycorrhizal fungi associated with their roots, a dual nutritional …

Orchid mycorrhiza probably affects about 25 000 plant species and thus roughly one tenth of
all higher plants. Histologically, this symbiosis resembles other kinds of endomycorrhiza, the …
