Mycorrhizal Communities and Isotope Signatures in Two Partially Mycoheterotrophic Orchids
Partial mycoheterotrophy, the ability of plants to obtain carbon from fungi throughout their life cycle in combination with photosynthesis, appears to be more common within the Plant Kingdom than previously anticipated.

Symbiotic seed germination for conservation and cultivation of orchids holds colossal merit asmycorrhizal fungus in its system improves their growth and adaptability. Symbiotic activity ishighly specific in some species, but in other cases the same fungus from one species is effective in aseries of related species.
