Root endophytism and mycorrhizal associations are complex derived traits in fungi that
shape plant physiology. Sebacinales (Agaricomycetes, Basidiomycota) display highly …

Mycorrhizal networks, defined as a common mycorrhizal mycelium linking the roots of at
least two plants, occur in all major terrestrial ecosystems. This review discusses the recent …

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

This new edition of Fungi in Ecosystem Processes continues the unique approach of
examining the roles of fungi from the perspective of ecosystem functions. It explores how …

Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi, symbiotic mutualists of many dominant tree and shrub species,
exhibit a biogeographic pattern counter to the established latitudinal diversity gradient of …

This review provides an informative and broad overview of orchid biotechnology, addressing
several important aspects such as molecular systematics, modern breeding, in vitro …

This chapter provides a description of all plant families and genera that include putative fully
mycoheterotrophic species, excluding initial and partial mycoheterotrophs. The overview …

Mutualistic root endophytism is not associated with the reduction of saprotrophic traits and
requires a noncompromised plant inn Page 1 Mutualistic root endophytism is not associated …

• Premise of the study: Mycoheterotrophic plants, which completely depend upon
mycorrhizal fungi for their nutrient supply, have unusual associations with fungal partners …

In nature all orchids develop a mutualistic association with specialized group of fungi called
orchid mycorrhiza. In natural environment, orchids are exclusively reliant on mycorrhizal …
