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 …

Contemporary soil science and conservation methods of effective forestry Forests and the
soils that serve as their foundation cover almost a third of the world's land area. Soils …

Background Symbiotic associations of endophytic fungi have been proved by possessing an
ability to produce hormones and metabolites for their host plant. Members of the …

The adaptation and performance of orchid mycorrhizae in heavy metal-polluted soils have
been poorly explored. In the present study, proteomic and metabolic approaches were used …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbioses involve transfer of soil nutrients to plants and plant-
derived organic compounds to AM fungi. Many experiments have shown that individual …

Almost all land plant species form a symbiosis with mycorrhizal fungi. These soil fungi
provide nutrients and other services to plants in return for plant carbohydrates. The recent …

Neotropical landscapes are diverse mosaics of ecosystems commonly resulting from
different degrees of human intervention. Although easily recognized by their vegetation, the …

Understanding the responses of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) attributes and soil
properties to tillage intensity is useful for the management of agroecosystems, especially in …

Orchids highly depend on mycorrhizae for survival and growth. Traditionally, to obtain orchid
mycorrhizal fungi (OMFs) for plant growth, fungi have been isolated from the roots of mature …

Using orchid mycorrhizal fungi (OMFs) to facilitate orchid proliferation is considered an
effective method of orchid conservation. Based on the success of using in situ seedling …
