The Role of Mycorrhizal Fungi in Orchids
Recent Patents on BiotechnologyBackground: In nature, orchid plants are obligate myco-heterotrophs, and rely on mycorrhizal nutrient resources to grow and sustain in the wild, until they become physiologically active photosynthetic plants. Their seeds lack nutrient reserves and receive the necessary carbon from symbiotic fungi during germination.

MYCORRHIZAE AND MYCORRHIZAL FUNGI OF CALYPSO BULBOSA
American Journal of Botany, 1988The seasonal development and fungal endophytes of the mycorrhizal roots of Calypso bulbosa (L.) Oakes were studied using fresh collections from Alberta and herbarium specimens from six herbaria.

Orchids and their mycorrhizal fungi
2019Orchids are associated with diverse fungal taxa, including non-mycorrhizal endophytic fungi and mycorrhizas. Orchid mycorrhiza (OM) symbiosis is an excellent model for investigating the biological interactions between plants and fungi due to their high dependency on these symbionts for growth and survival.

Orchidaceous Mycorrhizal Fungi
2000The underground world harbors one of the most common symbiotic associations between plant root and fungus called ‘mycorrhiza’ (Smith and Read 1995; Vanna 1998, 1999) which is the beneficial association between soil-borne fungus and the roots of about as many as ninety percent of terrestrial plants.

Peatland forest areas have been decreasing due to conversion of forests into farm land, the use of shifting cultivation on a large scale, illegal logging, opencast mining, and forest fires. Numerous studies of tropical forests have indicated that many native tree species were colonized by the arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) and ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungi ...

Application of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi into Agriculture
2017In the natural ecosystem, rhizospheric soils have various biological organisms to favour the plant growth, nutrient absorption, stress tolerance, disease prevention, carbon capturing and many more. These organisms include mycorrhizal fungi, bacteria, actinomycetes, etc. which solubilize nutrients and assist the plants in uptaking by roots.

Mycorrhizal fungi and parasitic plants: Reply
American Journal of Botany, 2011In a recent study (American Journal of Botany 97: 730–737), we described the first case of a tripartite association in natural conditions among a holoparasitic plant (Cytinus), its host Cistaceae species, and mycorrhizal fungi at an anatomical level.

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and nitrogen uptake
Archives of Microbiology, 2010Nitrogen (N) is among the most important macro-nutrients significantly affecting plant growth and yield production. Accordingly, N must be supplied adequately so that optimum amounts of yield are resulted. There are different ways of supplying N to the plant including the use of chemical and biological fertilization.

Root Hair Colonization by Mycorrhizal Fungi
2008Mycorrhizal fungi, i.e., the soil fungi that form mutualistic associations with many land plants, are provided by the host with carbon sources required to complete their life cycle, whereas they assist the plant in nutrient uptake from soil. Such acquisition is also considered to be one of the primary functions of root hairs. The aim of this chapter is
